Prozac

[nmp1]

What has taking Prozac been like? Your experience and did you have side effects, how soon did it work for you and how did it help with anxiety symptoms.

At first I had a few side effects...headaches, general nervousness n shivers, this only lasted few days or so, been on it now for over a year, it's been of great help, started to kick in after about 4 or 5 weeks, it's very subtle, you don't notice any obvious change immediately but gradually it lifts your mood n this enables you to deal with other things better, it's been a life saver for me personally, good luck, hope you have the same success with this medication as I have xxx

Hi nmp1 i was just prescribed Prozac haven't got the prescription filled yet but the Dr said they should help take the edge off idk I'm kinda afraid to take it! How has it made u feel so far?

[nmp1 in reply to Anxietytroll]

I haven't been to the dr yet but I was given it a few years ago for the anxiety but I never took it, I guess just knowing I had the meds made the anxiety go away. I'm trying to make an appointment for sometime soon because I want to feel at ease and not panic for another panic episode.

I will be going tomorrow. I'm not sure what I will be prescribed, but I was given it a couple years ago and I never took it because I was too scared and I got better without it. Let me know how it goes for you.

I know I need it but everything about meds freak me out! I don't want to be hooked and then have to wean myself off😕. I want something natural

[nmp1 in reply to Anxietytroll]

Me too, believe me I wish I could feel like I did a couple months ago, I felt fine I was working having a good time and then the anxiety comes back and I'm home all day, I have hope and sometimes we just need a little help getting back to ourselves

The first week.or so isn't fun restlessness and increase depressive thoughts/ anxiety you can ask the Dr for.low dose diazepam for the initial weaning period to.help.with the agitation. But when it kicks in not works great gives you an extra boost/emotional buffer.
