Hi, I've been on fluxotine for 4 days now and the side effects are intense. When I took my first dose I felt fine and as the days went on I have really blurred vision, anxious, can't really stand going out now, rapid heart beat, and sevee fatigue. I took two extra strength tylenol because the medication gave me a really bad migraine and I literally have felt some sort of high all day... Has anykne else been affected after taking advil/tylenol??

Hello

I have never taken these meds but lots of posts on here from others that have taken medication seem for the first few weeks to feel worse sometimes before they feel better but once they adapt to them they don't seem to regret sticking with them

Give it a while and see how you feel if it really gets unbearable then try & speak to your Doctor to see what they advise you to do

I hope it all settles down soon :-) x

Hello, I have been on it for 5 days now and omg its awful!!! I can't sleep, can't eat, can't think, its almost like I could hear my dreams so clearly and it was terrifying. I've read from so many people that once you give this medication time to set into your system it works well! I am really shaky and nervous. My panic and anxiety are at their worse right now I can't even go out and function with out freaking out on the inside. Side effects are HORRIBLE! I Did wake up crying and my boyfriend was there the whole time he's so supportive even when I'm in this state. I started praying and asking god to help me through this because I just wanted to sleep instead of feeling this pain

Hi there. I am so sorry for your horrible experience with prozac. I'm seriously considering being taken off this medication. This certainly is not meant for everyone. Worst side effects I have had with any medications its frightening knowing an attack can happen any minute. I'm probably going to give it two more days until I decide. I have contacted my doctor to see if she can give me 10mg instead of 20mg wayy to much. I hope you are okay, you are not alone in this.

Thank you. It's been a few days and I honestly just want to stop taking it. I wake up shaking and freaking out I have never felt something like this before. I realize its trying to put the chemical into my brain in order to help the depression but I feel as if I am floating or even having an out of body experience. It's absolutely awful
