Hey! I just started Prozac and I’m on day 4 or 5 and I’m feeling super anxious and having mini panic attacks, is this normal? I know my psychiatrist said anxiety will raise for the first two weeks but I just wanna know if this happened to anyone else. I’m also super tired Thanks 😊
Yes ..I'm also on Prozac(this is my second month)... initially yes, at like week 4 I was even like is this thing working (it takes like 4-6weeks) to start showing effect then gradually peaks...but it did/does help me....yes I also had the mini panic attacks + after like two weeks I went back to the psychiatrist and bisoprolol drug was added to also help the anxiety....the tiredness and sleepiness+ headache is common at the beginning+ for me, by week 4 I started having sexual dysfunction but it reduced significantly rn
@Ms.shelovesfrogs Thanks ☺️ I just wanna feel better without all these side affects 😔🙏
@Sarah McN Sorry about that, gradually it does get way better I'll tell you..this is my 8th week and I'm like whatttt😂(so you mean all my suicide attempts because of ocd were not needed😔) it does get better honestly..
@Sarah McN When I started it, by my third week I cried...I felt like it wasn't working..there would be days like that..where it overwhelms you but it does take time to work
@Ms.shelovesfrogs LOL ur so real 😭🙏 thank you tho you really made me feel better 🥰🥰
@Sarah McN It's ok, you're welcome
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?
I am having a really hard time with ocd and anxious thoughts and feeling extremely uneasy. I'm home alone today so it's really easy for me to get stuck in my thoughts. I'm on day 4 of prozac. I felt like yesterday I had a period of time of about 30 minutes where I felt really focused and like the anxiety lifted completely. But then an obsession started and it brought me right back down. Hopefully I feel relief again today. I'm going to go get some house work done to take my mind off of things. Does anyone have any first hand experiences with prozac? How long until you felt any relief? Any really bad side effects? Any unforseen pluses? Much appreciated.
