Will I ever feel consistently normal?
I’ve been on 20mg
Prozac
/fluoxetine for a little over a month now (33 days!) and for a brief few days I started to feel more like myself, depression and anxiety greatly reduced. I even found myself randomly singing around the house again!

starting Prozac anxiety
has anyone experienced anxiety when starting
Prozac
. It’s supposed to help anxiety. I know everyone reacts differently. Please let me know if you have experienced this and that it gets better. How long does it take? Need encouragement. Thank you!

During that time, I had been on
Prozac
for about 12 years but decided--for other health reasons--to go off it about 6 months ago. It took about 6 to 8 weeks for it to be eliminated from my system, but when it did, my anxiety, which never really went away during that time, came roaring back 10 fold.

Suffering and feeling trapped
I have a psychiatrist and a therapist, I'm on Lamictal as a mood stabilizer and switched to
Prozac
from Lexapro. I just had increased my
Prozac
dose.

Help. Day 11 on prozac.
Feeling totally terrible. The headache has gone but am left on day 11 feeling sick and very dizzy. Am almost on the brink of giving up taking them but having got through the heads don't want it to have all been for nothing. Ant words of encouragement would be appreciated. Thanks.

Going off Lexapro
I am switching from Lexapro to
Prozac
. I feel awful! It feels like extreme anxiety and agitation. Is there anyone who can validate that this might be discontinuation syndrome. I feel like I’m going insane. Thank you

What should I do to heal?
I recently started taking my
prozac
again, but my Dr told me I should not rely on the medicine, which is why I was hesitant to begin taking it. He also stated that I should focus on eating healthy and going to the gym for my depression.

Talked to doc, now facing the weekend
Anyway, the next two weeks I’ll be transitioning from
Prozac
to Zoloft, with Ativan “as needed.” Fingers crossed that the transition works well—and SOON.

Medication for Fibromyalgia
I take Amitriptiline,
Prozac
, Co Codamol and Ducolease. My doctors are not very forthcoming about keeping me updated with any new medications available. My main symptoms are pain, fatigue and irritable bowel. I work full time and some days it is so hard to be positive but plod along anyway.

Introducing Myself I Guess
Shortly after police found me,my parents eventually got me psychiatric and psychological help and I have been on wonderful
prozac
ever since. Fast forward to today, I'm still severely depressed and often find myself fighting suicidal thoughts. I can't drive. I'm on disability and I don't work.

Mom of a guy with newly diagnosed OCD
Presently he is taking
Prozac
40 mg., doxepin 25 mg. for panic attacks, Ambien ER 12.5 mg. for sleep, and this past week Lamictal was added. The past few days have been SO MUCH better, but today his anxiety spiked.

It's been a while for me since I've posted anything.
Could be the
Prozac
and Bupropion talking though. My life didn't turn out all that great. My husband and I have 3 grown children. Sarah 37, Royce 36 and Carole ann will be 33 this month. Next year will be 40 years since I had put my 1st baby boy up for adoption. I met him in 2015, I think.

is it normal?
I’m on 450 mgs of Wellbutrin and stopped 150 mgs of Zoloft, replaced by
prozac
. I’m so tired. I will fall asleep anywhere right now. This is awful. It this normal when changing medication? Also I have been without the Wellbutrin for a couple days because I am waiting for them to come in the mail.

Antidepressants 👎
The longest I stayed on one was
Prozac
for maybe 6 months but they made me emotionless and apathetic.
