Not sure if this goes here but has anyone used prozac off-label to treat social anxiety? I currently am and I feel like my anxiety has only worsened and has given me depression symptoms. And I’ve been on it for a few months too

If it’s making you worse get off of it- try another medication!

You gotta switch to something else. You should be seeing an improvement a few weeks in, definitely by months. Your brain just don’t fuck with the meds, and that’s fine. There’s a bunch of different kinds you can try out.

Kind of a tangent but how do you feel on ADHD meds (if you have ADHD and take them)? So many people describe a feeling like “oh my god the voices are quiet” and can effectively do tasks but I never had that feeling. I feel like maybe tasks are easier but I still need external motivation to do much of anything
