lexipro to prozac
I was on lexipro for like 20 years. I also should mention i have bad adhd and take adderall 20 mg extended release as well. For the last 10-15 years I always got really agressive, angry and frustrated emotional around my period. I would always fight with my husband also like clockwork around myt period. So long story short my doctors think I had pmdd they said switching to prozac could help.
Since I was on lexipro 20 mg for like 20 years- i very slowly weaned off while using prozac symultaneously so the wirthdraw wasnt so bad. I basically took 3 months to get off lexirpo. I am on month 5 of prozac at 40 mg and i feel weird. I definitely am feeling my feelings more. I also definitely had an adjusrment period the first month or two but almost had like mania highs it felt like- and i also felt anxious, relestless and risk takery.
This last month i am on 40 mg of prozac and I had a triggering situation happen and i just cried non stop. Like SOOOOO emotional. I feel like I am easily emotional for the past entire month. This doesn't feel normal- has this happened to anyone else? I am scared and frustrated because I am going to tell and go to my doctor tomorrow- i am just wondering if anyone went from lexipro to prozac and month 5 or later on (after the initial period of testing out the meds) started to feel super emotional?
