I haven't tried either of these but I totally understand the worry that comes from switching to a new drug. In the past, I have worried too much about all the 'what-ifs' that I was oversensitive and provoked anxiety I didn't need to have.

Good luck! Let's hope this drug is useful for you without any side effects, wouldn't that be awesome

I was on Prozac (Fluoxetine) many years ago when it first came out and from what I remember I had no side effects. It worked great for me for about 10 years. Hope it helps you!!

I have been on fluoxetine for almost two months now after resisting taking antidepressants. From what I understand, most side effects occur when you first start taking it. My therapist convinced me to try it, and I had virtually no side effects. I am very glad I gave it a try because it has helped reduce my anxiety. You deserve to at least give it a try.
