Im only on 20mg, but I keep forgetting things and I feel like there’s something I need to remember but no matter how hard I try I can’t. I zone out and then forget what I was just thinking, I forget where I am sometimes and what day it is. I spent 5 hours studying and writing notes for a test but couldn’t retain any of the information. My grades are going to shit. But I can’t decide what’s scarier, this brain fog, or going back to how I used to feel. What do I do? I keep wanting to quit but I’m scared.

Hi, currently I am on 20mg of Prozac for GAD and SAD, it’s been two months, and I started with 10mg for the first month. I am doing much better socially and anxiety wise, and I’m no longer crying over every little thing ever second of the day which is amazing! ONE BIG PROBLEM. My grades have begun to deteriorate… very badly… My motivation has left the chat, sometimes I find it hard to shower so decide to just skip school, and when I finally sit down to do my beanstalk sized list of homework that’s been due for more than 4 weeks, I feel so incredibly stupid and genuinely am unable to do ANYTHING. I always can’t get any work done in class. It takes me a whole hour and a huge amount of brain power to write a single PARAGRAPH FOR MY WHOLE LITERARY ESSAY. I don’t wanna go back to crying myself to sleep everyday and be in that much pain 24/7, I remember the feeling all too well. BUT MY FUTURE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY HAPPINESS. So, I implore you to help me. What the heck do I do here?
