So I Saw My Psychiatrist Yesterday…

Friday, December 4th, 2009

And I’m stable.

Well, slightly nuts from the stress of being with my family for two weeks, but stable, nonetheless.  I had an anxiety attack yesterday before my appointment, and before it got the best of me, I got it under control.  Once upon a time, the panic controlled me.  Now, I have the power to stop it.

I told my doctor that the Prozac has practically killed my libido.  I hated admitting it.  When we sat down and figured out the time frame of when my ability to orgasm like a 17-year-old boy died, we realized it plunged shortly after I stopped breastfeeding.  She gave me a few different options, we talked about the pros and cons of each, and together we decided that cutting back my Prozac dosage a little could very well take care of a lot of the sexual problems.  It was either that, or adding a little of another drug to my happy-pill cocktail.  To be perfectly honest, I don’t want to take more medication unless it’s absolutely necessary.

So as of today, I’m on my new dosage.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that I stay stable.

Please, send happy thoughts my way that the med change doesn’t send me spiraling again.
