I just don’t feel motivated at all to do my work. I started Prozac a few months ago for anxiety and I feel like I’m less ambitious on it. Normally I enjoy a lot going on and used to rarely spend time in my dorm but now I hardly get out of bed. Why?

I’ve got an assignment due tonight and whenever I try to work on it I just physically and mentally feel so uncomfortable. I’m glad my anxiety is gone but now I’m just too unmotivated to get out of bed to socialize even. I just feel emotionally dull too. I don’t enjoy listening to music anymore which was a huge thing for me before Prozac, I don’t play pool, I hardly answer people back. All I do is scroll through YouTube shorts on my phone in bed. I hardly even eat

I feel like before Prozac I may have used anxiety as fuel, since I have ADHD as well. Even though I’m also medicated for ADHD, I feel like I can still only get work done last minute which sucks. But now that I have reduced my anxiety on Prozac I just shut down instead of working. I’m so worried I’m going to fail this class. Has anyone had a similar reaction to prozac?

Prozac made me a zombie, too. Tell your doctor/psych/whoever that you want to try something else. Look around online at which brands of anxiety meds seem best for you, and request that (or a generic version)

I kept taking mine for 2 yrs (7th-9th grade) because I was too timid to tell doctors/parents that it wasn’t really working (very forward-thinking!) and lots of memory from that time is gone, too. Might be unrelated, though.

Just did. After I wrote this post it was a bit of a wake up call

I’ve had the same issue. I was on Adderall for my ADHD for a lot longer than I should’ve just because I was worried to say it didn’t work and made me feel weird. It didn’t help that I managed to gaslight myself too that it was working fine lol
