MDJunction to me

peasha"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)

Getting used to a new med can be trying at best.

Although the Prozac seems to be giving me energy I seem to be going through this burst of energy then a crash into tiredness. I'm hoping this is going to level out over the next week or so.

peace & hugs

Sorry you are not getting any sleep! While I could go for a burst of energy right now, I know that it is no fun to do that and then have a crash, I hope you level off soon and can get some rest again.

The burst of energy sounds great, but the crash not so. I hope it levels out and you can feel better without a crash! Stay strong. Hugs
