I am on day 7 of Prozac as well and just increased from 10 to 20 mg. I do feel more tired today than usual and a little more anxious, I do think it's the Prozac, Our body is still trying to get used to it. How many mg are you on? What is breo. Ellipta? I also take Busphar with the Prozac.

Breo Ellipta is my asthma preventative...I am on 20mg of Prozac. Today has been a bad day. Anxious and tired.

I have been having days like this since January, last night was extra bad but we will get better, tomorrow will be a better day, I am determined. I keep getting reassured by my psychiatrist that Prozac is good for the brain, supposed to calm things down, so I am going with that.

noemikahle, keep thinking positive. It's the key to getting better. Wish you well.

I am really trying to do that! I did have a 1/2 hour in my day today where I was actually feeling a little better and I will give myself credit for that. It is very difficult to be positive but I know I have to do it!

noemikahle, we take whatever we can get each day. I like the fact that you gave yourself credit for feeling better. Always reinforce yourself for any step forward. Hope tomorrow is even a better day for you. :)

I reward myself when I accomplish the smallest of things ...driving is very difficult for me. When I drive to the store I reward myself. Sounds crazy but it makes me feel better. 😍
