It’s been a while since I have posted. I am pretty sure I said this in the last post as well, but just walk with me. Lol…There has been so much going on lately. I recently had my meds updated. I had to do an online doctor’s appointment and it was interesting. Like I literally had to wait for her like I was in a physical waiting room for like 15 minutes, then had to rehash why I was on Prozac. So digging up those memories didn’t feel good, but it had to be done.
One thing to know about me, is that I am into herbal medicine. I love natural remedies and products. However, when I was diagnosed and began this journey with PTSD, I just wanted to feel normal again and I was good with the doctor prescribing Prozac. Before the Prozac, I had gotten to a point where I couldn’t work because of my anxiety. There were times I would break down at work and behind the wheel of my car, while driving. I couldn’t control it. I felt weak and all I wanted was to be able to be myself again. As I was talking to the doctor to get my meds updated, I wanted to tell her that I wanted to try a more natural way to deal with my anxiety. I didn’t, because honestly….she had not seen me in person and I wanted to feel comfortable requesting something that required her knowing a little more about me personally. I wanted her to be confident in the decision to change my meds to something more natural. Being as though our lives have been shifted due to COVID-19, it’s not as easy to switch up on some things that need to be carefully monitored. I can’t just stop taking Prozac. It is indeed one of those medications that will cause a negative effect if I am not taken off of it properly. So I have to be careful and patient till I am able to make that transition safely.
I want to try CBD oil, but I need it to be just as effective as the Prozac, if not better. That or “gummies” , I feel will be a more natural way of controlling my anxiety. Are you currently taking something to control your anxiety? How is that working for you?
