Prozac success stories?
Please tell me some Prozac success stories I’m starting it tomorrow! Feeling hopeful because I was doing ok on Zoloft and have been much worse since I’ve been off so we’re trying a new med.

I started taking it early in the pandemic when my anxiety was through the roof. It helped a lot but it took a few weeks to feel a difference.
Hi! I am actually on the same exact med journey as you. I am officially 2 weeks on prozac. I'll be truthful and say the first week, while my body was getting used to it, I was having increased anxiety and more panic attacks in a short amount of time. But that has started to stabilize and I'm noticing I'm able to gain control of those faster than I have in the past. And it will only get better with more time! I hope this one works great for you 🩷
@Anonymous Thanks for sharing! I hope it works out well for both of us! I’ve been on sertraline before, so I expect the first few weeks to be rough. Hopefully only better from there!
@RosemaryFlowers Ditto! Sertraline I feel like did more or less the bare minimum for me so fingers crossed prozac is the one for us. Best of luck 😊
I am currently on 60 mg took some time but I’m def feeling a difference for sure !
Yes I’m on Prozac right now at 50 mg and it works great for me. It does take a bit to work I’d say like a month to feel a difference
can anyone give me some insight on this? i was given 20 mg of prozac by my doctor to help me calm down while i wait for a psychiatrist appointment for ocd (i went in for an ekg because i was worried. nothing was wrong) yesterday was the 2nd dose, should i expect anything? i almost feel like it keeps me up at night since i take it around 7 pm, and i already have been sleeping poorly for a week or so.
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭
I was diagnosed with OCD and I started Prozac 10 days ago. I have struggled with intrusive taboo sexual thoughts for 12+ years (I’m 24) but now I feel like it’s turning into feelings. I’ve never done anything to anyone or nor do I wish to ever. I am just scared of my own brain if this is something I actually want. My psychiatrist said I should feel better/start getting clarity after 2 weeks. But I keep feeling worse and worse. Anyone else has experience with Prozac and how it went for them?
