So I’ve been on antidepressants (20mg Prozac) for about three weeks now and they’ve helped me A LOT. I’ve gotten minimal side effects which is great bc almost every other medication I’ve been on has made me insane but, one thing I’ve noticed, my pain tolerance is really high now.

I’ve always been a sensitive person but for the last three weeks I’ve been able to tolerate pain a lot better. I had a bad fall a week ago and bruised my chest and back but I just kind of walked it off and didn’t really feel anything. I fell out of a shopping cart and felt nothing. I got my legs and bikini line waxed today and it was kind of relaxing. Etc etc. Normally when those things happen to me I cry like a bitch for an hour or so but I’ve been fine lately? I assume it’s the Prozac bc nothing else in my life has really changed.

Is this a side effect of anti-depressants? Has this happened to anyone else?
