I started a new med (fluoxetine) and my executive functioning has been a LOT better. I’ve only been on it a few weeks but I am already noticing such a huge difference. I’ve been cooking, cleaning, exercising. Is this what the normies do??
more power to you! When I tried Prozac, it just made me grind my teeth constantly, didn't do squat for my mood and I stopped taking it. I'm glad it works for someone out there.
when things are going well, yeah. then something happens and it throws off the whole routine.
Yeah I have no doubt it’s not a permanent thing. I’m just enjoying it while it lasts
Very good attitude to have!
