Prozac

[Sfqueen]

Today is my 14day on Prozac 20mg I am still feeling really anxious and really sleepy and tired how long does it take to feel better? And the side effects doing away

I'm on fluoxetine (Prozac) they can take 4 or 5 weeks to start kicking in, side effects should settle then too, hang in there, ive found them quite helpful

How long have you been on it? Did it help a lot or some what

[Hidden in reply to Sfqueen]

Ive been on it for about 3years, I came off it about 6mths ago and realized that it was infact helping as I felt myself feeling depression etc, it seems a long time to be on them I know but why not? people take medication for different illnesses for years or indefinite, my illness is the same as any other except its my mind, it works for me, the effects a very subtle too so you will gently start to feel the benefit xxx

Good to know.. did it make you tired in the beginning? I feel really tired and sleepy.. my anxiety has increased a bit as well

[Hidden in reply to Sfqueen]

Yes it did make me tired at first, and it's not uncommon for anxiety to increase alittle in the beginning too, these should settle once the medication kicks in properly, try not to worry and give it time,

Forgot to say I'm back on them after the short break off 6mths ago
