Hello,
I am really frustrated and confused and am searching for an answer. About 4 years ago I took Seroxat, they worked beautifully, very quickly and effectively. There was not doubt in my mind that they were working. Four years later I am now trying to get back on these drugs with very little effect. I tried seroxat, initially they made me very foggy anxious, almost like blind panic then weeks later nothing. I am now trying prozac and have experienced exactly the same thing, initially I felt suicidal and now that those effects have worn off I have no doubt that they are not doing anything, I feel as though I might as well be swallowing smarties. I don't even get the same side effects that I used to which was drowsyness and tremor. I asked my Psychiatrist why they are not working this time and he seems to think that maybe my blood levels are not high enough and the drugs aren't getting to my brain but I had a seizure the other day for the first time ever (as it happens that was a good day) so wouldn't that suggest that the drugs are getting to my brain.
I just don't understand how a drug that could once work so well now do absolutely nothing, zilch, zero. I guess I am looking for some sort of scientific explanation cause I'm pretty devastated.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Denise
