Fatigue and malaise from anxiety and depression
Im currently in the middle of tapering from Lexapro onto
Prozac
. My doctor said that Lexapro is more of a sedating ssri and
Prozac
is energizing. I haven't noticed much of a difference just yet. Hoping to get a little feedback on how to get through this and get my life back. Ps.

New and struggling
I take 40mg
Prozac
daily and that seems to help. Periodically, I still have severe anxiety attacks. I basically just grit my teeth and try not to make any rash decision during the minutes/hours that I am facing the attack.

My story
The only medication that worked was
Prozac
and even that stopped working after about 2 years. About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Bi-polar II and began taking Latuda and began to respond to it. Now I am currently doing psychoanalysis 3 times per week in addition to the Latuda.

Insomnia because of Prozac, does magnesium help?
Since dose was upped to 20mg it’s getting harder to fall asleep, and I wake up around 3 am and just lie awake. No anxiety or anything, just awake. Has anybody tried magnesium and did it help? Also, does this side effect go away? Thx

I love when you feel a symptom and all of a sudden you start googling and it's like your dying lol
I do have acid reflux, and I take
Prozac
which I had no idea causes indigestion at times. I started googling like a freak and now I'm paranoid. I messaged the dr and now I'm waiting for a reply. I hate how anxiety causes us to be paranoid or go from 0-60 in the blink of an eye.

Help advice needed for long term sufferer of depression/anxiety/dark thoughts
It’s important I have to add that I am not on any medication, since the
Prozac
was only effective for a few months and then feelings of darkness and major anxiety had creeped back in. I also tried Citropram with only bad side effects even weeks after which made me feel awful and even more isolated.

Not trying to be weird but does anyone else get really aroused after taking prozac
This is so weird it's my third go with
Prozac
and it's always been good but this time around I'm more anxious, weird thoughts, very aroused after I take it , I'm trying distractions but not much is working.

Extremely horny while taking prozac
Does anyone else ever get the opposite effect from an ssri? I literally can go at it 3-4 times and I'm still that way. I'm trying hard to ignore it.

Klonopin withdrawal and what is causing my symptoms?
My therapist suggested "lets up the
prozac
". My cardiologist offered "how about you try a beta blocker instead of Klonopin". My pcp and endo think "your testosterone is a little low, theres your problem...". What do I do? Am I overthinking all of this and just throw caution to the wind?

Anyone wake up and feel like your having hot flashes or an adrenaline rush ?
This is something I haven't really experienced before and this is like my third round with
Prozac
. I did fall asleep twice last night and woke up which reminded me of when I used to work third shift but still today I just feel so off.

Prozac and problems staying hard
Anybody else have any issues with staying hard ? I also was told some people have an issue of inability to ejaculate anything. Does this sound possible

Anybody ever feel like your heightened anxiety or alittle depressed when starting meds?
The dr suggested that I start the
Prozac
again, 20 mg. It's been about a week, I feel like my anxietys kinda heightened especially when I'm at home and not doing much, and kinda depressed alittle too, can this just be the medicine adjusting ? I hope that's all it is . :/
