20th Prozac Update - Feeling Poor
May 15, 2026··
Mood is quite poor today. Feeling poor or even bad. Been having some appetite problems.
I went to sleep quite tired and woke up with poor mood. Hoping the mood will return within the next days. Today had to go to three doctor's appointments and they were very productive so in that sense I am crushing it despite having some fatigue and some quite low mood. I must rest for the next two days as Monday will bring more doctor's appointments as I am going to the dentist on Monday (some small holes in teeth) and to the psych doc on Tuesday where I may discuss tapering of depakote.
I recommend you guys add on preventing fatigue and overload such as dosing activity if you don't have such materials already.

Thanks for the suggestions! Yeah, episodes of sudden loss of appetite is also something i experienced. Interestingly while updosing and also tapering.
Glad it‘s weekend now, i hope it stabilizes your mood!
I felt Vitamin B1 and Cornzyme Q10 and or Gluthatione helped with fatigue, but it can also feel a little stessing in withdrawl and did not really increase my mood.
Pacing your activity (like setting work and resting times) is indeed a good thing: i like to stop sports when i start to feel angry or kind of inflamed, while starting is often a bigger problem. (Mental)Work related i start slow, take my time and after half an hour my brain finally tarts to focus and work better on the tasks. I stop when performance drops suddenly to rest a little.
I congratulate on your accomplishments despite the symptoms and wish you a good, fruitful talk with your psych doc on monday aswell as a refreshing weekend! 💪👍
