What jokes have you heard, or might you come up with, regarding "cats on prozac?"? By any chance, have you ever given your cat prozac or any other medication to lift its mood? Please, I do not mean this against cats. I love them. I am just looking to develop some thing in a creative writing vein. No harm intended, & I would NEVER do anything to hurt the dear lovely kitties, as some of them have ME as their friend, (lol)...

Terry F replied: "I've heard of a joke regarding Santa Clause on Prozac :D"

Albel the Twisted replied: "How funny that I should come across this. We just put our 6-month-old kitten on paxil. He's been very high-strung and stressed out since maturing."

Anyone else have slight anger issues and constant bad moods after getting off of Prozac? I am not really angry I just notice that my mood has changed, its more like I'm in a bad mood all of the time and don't joke as well as I used to if that makes any sense? Im also pregnant so I guess it could be my hormones but I was just curious? Thanks

Vampire_Reiko replied: "It's probably just the hormones...I actually got A LOT better when they switched me off of Prozac, but that may just be because it had a negative affect on me though. Shortly after they put me on Prozac I had my first suicide attempt...I rarely had thoughts of suicide before that stupid pill. I do though always say Prozac ruined my mental health. I've never been the same since I got on it. It got better when I was off of it though."

Is Prozac just a joke? I've been on Prozac for about a year now. Whenever I tell people they always say how I should get off it, even my sister and my own father say I shouldnt be taking a drug. My mom takes it too, and she explained to me that since my depression is so bad, that I am someone who NEEDS it. Yet, i can't belive that/ I am told that doctors are "retarted" and its all a bunch of bullshit. I'm really confused, and I would just like a bunch of opinions on this, because I am tired of this. It just doesnt feel right to take pills everyday. Also, if you take more prozac medication then needed, what would happen? (NOT going to kill myself, just wondering because they seem to be able to change the dose easily."

Daxflame replied: "Wouldn't you become dependent if you took more than needed?"

Robert C replied: "Prozac is no joke...it is very serious, seriously bad for you. If you are suffering from depression, then your body is out of balance. This could be due to any number of factors that are usually hard to pinpoint. Could be allergies, or simply a poor diet without exercise. If your body does not get the proper nutrition it needs, it starts to compensate by robbing from other areas of the body in order to survive. This keeps you alive, but throws your body balance out of whack creating all sorts of different problems. The first sign is usually depression. It is a way of your body telling you that something is wrong. If you simply take an antidepressant to feel better, you are only masking the problem which in turn actually makes it worse. Your body will now slow down the production of the brain chemicals being supplied by the antidepressant. Not good. Also, you still have the imbalance which caused you to feel depressed in the first place. I would suggest that you slowly reduce your dosage until you are completely free of Prozac. Don't simply stop taking it. Your brain is used to it now and simply going cold turkey will throw your brain off severely. Take it slow. Also, try to figure out what caused the imbalance in the first place. Start with an allergy test. Also, if you are really serious about curing your depression, you will have to take drastic steps. When the body is out of balance, parisites and fungus have an easier time establishing themselves in the body...you have to right the ship in order to rid yourself of these culprits. This means an organic diet free of chemicals. Basically eat only fresh whole foods and drink pure filtered flouride and chlorine free water...and lots of it. No sugar, alcohol, preservitives, food dyes, bleached flour...etc. Eat fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, berries and deep sea fish. But you have to know your allergies first...or that banana might not be helping you. Everyone has a different reason for their depression...but the cure is the same for all - balance the body. If there were an easy way to do this, well, I would be rich if I knew what it was. In one person it could be that they are allergic to food coloring, in another it could be that they have eaten too much sugar and taken too many antibiotics, in another it could be too much soda and alcohol....etc. Find what threw your body off, fix it and prevent it from reoccuring. Good luck."

Hog Wash replied: "Be careful about what answers you accept as fact. Most individuals on this forum are not informed, medically trained, nor understand the human brain. There are two kinds of depression. Situational depression, caused by a tragic, or disturbing event. This will pass and resolve itself over time. Then, there is clinical depression which is believed to be caused by your brain re-absorbing the serotonin it produces, too quickly. This is a serotonin re-uptake problem and it is physical in nature unrelated to diet, or drinking treated water. The prozac will slow the brains ability to reabsorb the Sheraton and thus keep the levels steady for a healthy mental balance. Not taking a pill because you don't like to take pills is like not getting your arm set after its broken, because you don' t believe in splints. Doctors are not retarded. If you think that, look at the qualifications to get into medical school, and requirements to practice medicine anywhere in the U.S. If you take a higher dose of prozac it can cause a serotonin excess and that would be a problem which would cause you to become ill. Stick to the dosage your doctor prescribed. What ever you do, don't suddenly stop taking the prozac. It you need to stop, it needs to be done very slowly, coming off the drug by gradually reducing the dosage you take. Depression can literally kill. Don't listen to just anyone about this disorder. Ask your doctor about it if you have questions."

are you so surprized when all the mental health clinics do is dope you up? psychiatry is a joke, just dope em up and send em home right? take two prozac and call me in the morning? for the amount of services they provide they could do just as well with a trailer on a vacant lot! instead of the fancy buildings YOUR taxes pay for!

rabid wombat replied: "hear, hear! nothing but subjugation is what it is..."

js1 replied: "Most psychiatrists require you to also get an accompanying therapist. But you know what? Most people are jsut loking for an easy fix to a problem that has ben ingrained into their head for months, or even years. Most people can't take the fact that it may take them years to get rid of a mental ailment through therapy and assume they will get it by taking meds. It's not all the psychiatrist's fault."

Alex62 replied: "My psychiatrist is great. She's saved my life. She listens about med responses and reactions. She does not expect me to take something that makes me ill. She does not want me to take more than the minimum that I need. My therapist is equally great, too. There is no joke to any of this. Doctors/general practitioners, do tend to hand out antidepressants a little too fast IMHO. Therapy can be a much more effective first line treatment for most situational depression. My suggestion... work with the system, not against it. If you are not a responsible part of your 'treatment team', you decided to be at the mercy of others and should not complain. ~Bipolar, managing it and living a normal life."

sweets replied: "Most of the people who are on medication also seek therapy, and not all mental clinics just "hand out" meds, they do analying the patient first and make sure the med they put them on is right for them. You sound just like my fiancee, lol. He is so against people on antidepressants. I do think alot of people take advantage though. I understand where you are coming from. For instance a friend of mine actually go's to different doctors to get different prescritions and fills them at different pharmacies and sells them. I hope this info helped you."

Hopefully Helpful replied: "It sounds like you had a bad experience with the mental health clinics. Did they dope you up and send you home? Did they tell you to take two Prozac and call them in the morning. I am sorry to hear that this is your interpretation. I hope if you need help, you will have a more positive experience in the future. Best Wishes"

What is this world coming to? I just heard on the radio that cats are being diagnosed as having passive agressive personalities and that vetrenarians are prescribing prozac to the Cats! I am not kidding! This is not a joke! Is your cat on prozac?

Munya Carr replied: "My dog is on valium. So if he's on V, then a cat can be on P."

Aristotle replied: "Nope. She is on coffee and Nyquill."

Vicm0322 replied: "Not that I think I want to try it, but come to think of it, that may be just what my cat needs, lol. He's so anti sociable. I really did see that kind of stuff for sale at the pet store web sites. Glad to see you have to have a prescription for it, or they all might start taking it. Whatever happened to the days when we brushed and bathed our dogs and that was it. Don't even remember if they had flea collars back then. I'm all for getting my animals everything they need to stay healthy and comfortable,,,,but I sure do miss the old days."

mo replied: "No but i think that you look great."

macleod709 replied: "well, they give dogs Prozac, so it doesn't shock me that they would give it to cats. no my cats aren't on Prozac."

ERRRRRR replied: "no way! I'd never put that chemical in my pets!"

mjmorrissey99 replied: "Cats have pretty much the same emotions and feelings as we do, their breains are wired much like ours, and their minds work much like ours in a may ways. So it's natural that they should have many similar disorders and be helped by similar medications. I gotta wonder, though - just how does one diagnose a passive-aggressive personality in a cat?! In humans, most "passive-aggrressive" types aren't mentally ill, they're just jerks, or cowards who don't have the courage to deal with their conflicts openly and honestly. In a cat, who has to deal with a human who's ten times their size, doesn't speak their language and doesn't understand their motivations, behavior we might call "pasive-aggressive" in a human might just be reasonable coping behavior for a cat. Very curious..."

gwiz replied: "What is this world coming to ? Hmmmmm ... Indeed !! Pharmaceutical companies do NOT want you be be well !! They prefer one to be and stay sick so you can take their drugs everyday, it keeps them in the good standing with stockholders and, now your animals can follow suit !!! Pharmaceutical companies rather not find cures, why should they, they need diseases to make money !!!!!"

cziizi replied: "personally, I prefer Monty Python's confuse-a-cat service..."

Meghanita replied: "i would never give my cat pills like that.. thats horrible... then again, i guess it's just like the fact that my nephew is 10 and so over medicated its not funny"

What does it mean if your husband starts really irritating you? Okay, I'm worried. My husband is very nice, kind and funny but we've had a rough time lately with recurrent miscarriages and infertility. I'm also going through depression of which I started prozac for. I'm finding myself increasingly irritated at my husband and don't feel love for him. When he makes his stupid jokes I just want to roll my eyes and I'm not turned on anymore. I got married and it's for life, so I need to work on this. Have you ever dealt with this before, and is it just the passing of time that will help?

bronzebabekentucky replied: "really, its Probably hormonal, and stress.. it'll pass"

SillyKimmie replied: "Yeah I get over it and appreciate the fact that he is there for me and trying to cheer me up. This is very important and a lot of people say this, but it's true and it wrecks a lot of marriages if you, but DO NOT sweat the small stuff. It's that simple. You gotta learn whether or not it's a time for battle or not. I don't think there is time for battle, there's always a time for discussion though."

cvhuntaylor replied: "It is a passing thing, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Look up Choice Theory on the net. (William Glasser) He helped me realize my actions/reactions and how and what I can (or not) do about my husband."

booktender replied: "If you are really new to prozac it may not have accumulated enough in your system yet to defeat the depression. Feeling irritated and out-of-love is part of depression. If this continues for more than 2 weeks with the prozac please return to your doctor and try a different anti-depressant. It doesn't mean an anti-depressant isn't a good idea. It just means you may need a different drug. Further, depression should not be treated by medication alone. Get started with a good counselor so you can unlearn anything you may have mislearned about yourself and others while depressed. It would be a good idea to have your husband go with you sometimes so he can learn about the disease and deal with any problems he has with it as well. Good luck."

katydid replied: "Most of us go through tough times. You're under a lot of stress and you've had some serious issues to deal with. It's understandable that he'd get on your nerves. Hopefully, this will pass with time. I've noticed that when my husband and I go through really difficult times, we've learned that it will pass. After things lighten up, we're closer. Don't shut him out. Keep the lines of communication open. Hopefully, the prozac will help. Good luck to both of you."

Tori replied: "lol - it just means you're married =) Sometimes people can irritate you but you roll with it. I'm sure you do things that annoy him too .......it's all part of the whole marriage and lifelong commitment thing. If you start to feel resentment you may want to seek therapy or marriage counseling. Take Care, Tori"

RICHARD T replied: "Sounds as though the miscarriages and infertility are taking their toll on both of you. Understand that much of the different behavior that both of you are experiencing is related to the extreme stress you both are going through. Talk it over calmly and rationally and also talk to your doctor about this. Many medications can dull the senses and emotions more than you'd believe. Side effects to many medications aren't the same from one person to another. As far as your husbands jokes, remember that many people use their sense of humor or lack of it as a defense mechanism when they are going through depression. Ask your doctor to talk to your husband too."

layla replied: "It is probably because of all the stress. Try not to get too stressed and i hope you have good luck and get over this try to spend a few days away from him and you will miss him"

tangerine ducati replied: "it means you are human. it happens when there is more than one personality having to co exist,like marriage. it's like living with siblings and parents,some times you wont be able to stand him and then the're will be blissful times."

star gazer replied: "Actually, anti-depressants decrease your sex drive! And stress makes you less fond of idiotic behavior, you know, the one that used to make you laugh! Don't worry, in time things will change."

The Central Scrutinizer replied: "He is not irritating you, you are just irritable. If you don't believe me, separate for a short time, no playing around agreed. You'll see that he is more of the solution than the problem he seems to be right now. Tuff it out. After all, its for the good times and the bad. Remember, never go to bed angry, and only pick on the important things to argue about that really matter. Give up on arguing about the toilet seat and the dish towels please. It's good that you realize that you are probably going through some changes right now. Like my 94 year old grandmother said to me, "life sure does change"."

Lois M replied: "You need to spend some time away from him so you can learn to re-appreciate him the way you once did. I have often found that just a weekend away - even if it's just going to your grandparents alone -is great for a relationship. 24/7 togetherness in a relationship is just too unrealistic. No one wants to, or even can, be polite all the time and when your body and hormones are going wild, you do not need to make a decision (like leaving your husband permanently) that would be life-altering. Your husband probably feels a lot like you do and would enjoy having a weekend without you. He's probably tired of trying to lighten the atmosphere around the house. BEEN THERE, GIRLFRIEND. Good luck to you and I wish you the very best in your life."

heather replied: "Don't be worried, it is totally normal to be irritated by your husband. I have been married for seven years and everyone of my friends has experienced this. I see my own Mother irritated with my step Dad quite alot. Marriage has its ups and downs like everything. In fact you will probably find out both of you find yourself feeling this way towards each other a lot. Marriage is work. I have always heard this and have found myself saying blah blah blah- work!! It doesn't take much to keep things nice, even if you are annoyed with him. Send him an e-mail telling him you love him. When he comes home from work - tell him how much you appreciate him. You will be surprised what happens. We are finally coming out of our slump and things are better than ever. Good luck, hang in there."

JLB replied: "You are most likely preoccupied with trying to have a baby and nothing your husband can do is right. Seriously think about what you would feel like if he died tonight and you never were with him again. Don't push your husband away because of your depression. If he leaves you, then you'll have no husband and no chance of having a baby. Appreciate what God has given you. (I'm not a bible pusher either)"

qsbookie replied: "talk to your DR. and see about a different meds"

Prozac dosage question...? My mohter, who is in her early seventies has been taking Prozac for about 2 decades. I know that she takes a high dosage and it has been increased over the years. Lately, she has been "too happy". She doesn't seem to have any control over her actions, or what she says. She talks contantly, either to stangers on manipulating every family conversation. Everything is a joke to her and we are constantly having to treat her like an hyperactive toddler, telling her to sit down, lower her voice etc and to stop making a fool out of herself. Please understand that I am not trying to deny her happiness, but she is taking it to the extreme and we are concerned about her. We are concerned at the conversations she has with complete strangers and we are concerned about how she acts at family events. I am at a loss of how to handle this and am wondering if perhaps her Prozac dosage is now too high- it just seems like a explaination for how she is acting. Any help appreciated.

Sven B replied: "Just let her be happy!"

sunshine replied: "talk to her doctor if you that concerned...and let her doctor know what your seeing and how you are concerned...thats your best bet."

mytwodogs60463 replied: "they did the same thing with my dad and found out that when you get older you need to reduce the dosage as it can become to strong. they ended up reducing my dad's dosage as it was too stong because he got older and they left it and didn't think it would interfer with age but it does. see if they can do a blood level as they did that with my dad and then decreased his level."

ivory_harlow replied: "I know people taking anywhere from 10mg to 160mg a day. It depends on A)tolerance B)body mass"

What are the dangers of withdrawl from Cymbalta and Prozac? I am on 30mg, w/ a supplement of 10mg Prozac. I was supposed to be weened of Prozac, but the psychiatrist decided to keep me on both. The Cymbalta is to expensive, I got one perscription filled and have been off it for a week because I can't affoard the medication. Prozac on 30mg was making me hallucinate. Now I feel like I can't sleep, when I walk I feel dizzy, I am feeling hot, aggressive and mean. Honestly, I feel like hurting my husband and I am not joking. I have an appointment tomorrow to see my doctor, but I was just wondering what all of your experiences are. --I swear I am seeing things move around, like I am seeing things again. I sometimes think they are bugs, but then when I look they aren't there.

tennis.player replied: "I took 20 mg of Prozac for a month of so but it made me restless and have sleeping problems. When I went off it, the doctor told me I could just stop taking it and I would be fine. I ended up taking 1 every other day for a few days and I was fine. No withdrawal symptoms. I'm not sure about the Cymbalta."

palmers126 replied: "There are medications available that are more affordable. If you are not feeling well go to the ER. If you don't have insurance there are many mental health clinics that offer services on a sliding scale (in other words it is based on income). I don't know how long you have been on these medications. Most medications are extremely expensive but, there are some that are affordable. Walmart has some medications that are only $4 as well as target. Some medications have generic brands which are more affordable. People respond differently to medications so you just need to find a combo that works. Tell your doctor of your concerns (price of medications and side effects) and if he is a good doctor he will make changes!! How about Celexa which is also an antidepressant?? $4 at walmart. Prozac is a brand name the generic is Fluoxetine which $4 at walmart. It isn't effective if you are unable to continually take an antidepressant because to be effective you need to keep a constant level in your system. Some antidepressants, for instance, Wellbutrin may take up to 3 months (taken daily) to be effective. Please talk to your psychiatrist."

MM replied: "Well firstly you have to discuss all the symptoms with your doctor. You should not discontinue any anti-depressant therapy right away. You need to slowly decrease the dosage. For the Prozac 10mg is the lowest dosage that it comes in so you should be able to discontinue it right away. Cymbalta in 30mg is not a very high dosage since the treatment with it usually is 60mg. However, Cymbalta does come in 20mg, so your doctor might recommend that you take 20mg for 1-2 weeks. Hallucinations, panic attacks, headaches, aggressions, dizziness... might appear as a result of withdrawing the medication. This symptoms can be decreased if you slowly withdraw from the medication."

JackieG replied: "Discus any bad effects you are having with any medication. If you think the Prozac is causing these problems tell your doctor you are cutting back. Then slowly decrease the dosage till you are down to none,but hopefully by then your doctor has a back up medication, Maybe Paxil or Zoloft, these are good meds and both have generics which helps lower the cost. Please do not try any of this without consulting your doctors. Good Luck"

shaneris5 replied: "Brain shivers, and skin crawling sensations are some. See about them. Also I suggest getting one more prescription for Cymbalta, taking a full dose for 3 days, or until stabilised, and weaning off as shown below: Using a mortar & pestle, or cheap pill splitter are other options, and it is a good idea to first take a 75% dose, for at least 2 weeks, then 50% for another 2 weeks, then 25% for a further 2 weeks. Then halve even that dosage for a final 2 weeks. These are the minimum time periods I recommend, but if your primary mental health care provider advises you to take even longer, then do so. Benzodiazapenes, such as Xanax can take even longer, tapering to very small doses, over many months. If in a hurry, or with limited supplies, once stabilised, cut to 85% dose on the next day. Then 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 7.5, 5, 2.5, & 1% doses. Alternative, complementary, and conventional depression treatments are shown in section 2, at See page R first, then page V; WOMEN TO WOMEN, young women's depression, and eventually the rest of the section. Let your husband know how you are being affected, and your plans, so he has a better chance of responding appropriately."
