How long did it take for you to start feeling better? What other side effects did you have?

@Dom267 Thanks. I'm not on anything yet because I've been so scared of all the side effects. How much worse my anxiety and ocd could get scares me. I've talked with a few people on here to see their side effects as well and it seems most people had the same side effects as you stated.

@Dom267 Yes you have helped I appreciate you taking your time to help me. That's a great sign. I think I wouldn't be as scared but I have 2 kids who I am home with all day long.

Have you talked to your doctor?

It’s usually best not to stop medication without talking to your doctor first. Some medications take time to work, and SSRIs are one of those medicines. You can call their office and say you have a concern about your medication and ask your doctor about it. It’s also possible a different medication would work better and have less side effects. Different people respond different to different medications.

Day 9 on Prozac. Trying to stay hopeful/patient:(
I hate that it takes so long for ssris to kick in. And I have a long way to go because I’m not even up to 10mg(my doc has me going up very slowly to have less side effects) yet. I know with Prozac specifically you get heightened anxiety which I’ve had here and there but it’s more so the tiredness and almost depressive mood that’s bothering me as well as loss of appetite. I know to stick it out but just sucks cuz I more so deal with anxiety not depression so it’s a weird feeling like not feeling motivated etc. just hope I’ll feel better in a few weeks :(

derealization as a side effect w/lexapro?
Anyone get this in the beginning and it go away? I posted yesterday how I was feeling pretty good. But realistically it’s only 2 weeks into 5mg so it’s early on and I’ll probably need to move up to 10mg. I’m feeling out of it today like the anxiety isn’t there but it’s like derealization/a calm anxiety if that makes sense lol. Like I just don’t feel real:/
