Neurodivergent on Sidechat | Anyone else feel like they are significantly less ambitious on prozac? I have adhd and anxiety and wonder if the prozac took away a lot of my stress, but since I work best under pressure (adhd), I can’t work as well now. Or maybe I’m depressed? Ideas?

i have adhd+autism and take prozac and have noticed difficulty with my initiative, but i also have extenuating circumstances that definitely are contributing and exacerbating so i can’t say how much is prozac and how much is just my brain responding to stress

Prozac just outright didn’t work for me.

Idk when those life events happened but if they happened sometime after you started taking prozac, did you notice a shift? And did you feel the way you do before those events happened, even to a smaller degree?

i started taking prozac again right before when one of the circumstances came to a head, so it’s difficult to pin it directly to me taking prozac. i DO know it’s been several months now and i dedicate way less brain space to grieving that thing now and still am struggling w my initiative, and it COULD be attributed to the prozac. i’d def keep poking around though bc i’m kind of in the thick of it and might not be the best point of reference haha

Sorry for your loss or for whatever happened. That is tricky. Do you have a therapist? I think I might start again soon
