a note to family:

These pages discuss PCOS and infertility (and, hopefully, one day pregnancy) with a sense of blunt, gory honesty. Some few things are private and we don't talk about them here, but much of the graphic workings, both physical and emotional, of our infertility journey are laid out bare, and are not for those who might be sensitive to reading them. Your curiosity may be better sated by asking us the questions you want to ask directly.

Mmm, Prozac.

April 14, 2007, by alix

So far I've been taking the Prozac on a typical PMDD schedule. This month I'm not doing so well depression-wise, though. The physical pain is mostly the reason for my withdrawal from everyone lately, but the emotional heaviness doesn't help.

Really, it's not that bad, just some insomnia and my head spinning a bit on the sad end of things when I don't keep myself busy.

Still, I'm pondering taking the Prozac constant until the pill kicks in or I switch to something that works.
