not that i’ve noticed, but it’s hard to tell because i’ve been on some form of SSRI’s for 5+ years now and they’ve all had weight gain as a side effect. In terms of appetite, nope! Another one is my body feeling realllyyyy restless when trying to fall asleep at night but i’ve been advised by my doctor that taking it earlier in the day will help with that (I also haven’t been strict enough on my sleeping schedule so that doesn’t help)

I'd say I'm feeling some benefits but it's still way too early. What about it are you finding beneficial? How much are you on?

I've been on this for a week and think I've been noticing some results. It might be too soon to tell or the placebo effect, but I find that I'm able to move on from distressing/intrusive thoughts a lot easier compared to last week, which was riddled with terrible thoughts, stress and anxiety. It's not a drastic change but it feels like improvement. I'll definitely keep taking it and see if I continue to notice a difference.

Also makes me really drowsy throughout the day so I might go back to coffee. I take 50 mg at night.

my biggest side effect is waking up cold and sweaty? which is weird but also a common side effect. And ya I guess it’s lessened my physical anxiety and also made it easier to resist compulsions. I’ve just upped it to 250mg after being on 100 for about 4 weeks.

Any weight or appetite changes? The drowsiness will be tough for me as it could impact my job.

I keep having a terrible feeling that I am going to die or I need to die. Almost as if my brain is telling me I need to kill myself. It’s hard to tell if I really want to do something like that. I know it’s wrong and I wouldn’t want to leave or upset my family. These feelings send me into an immediate spiral. My body starts having hot flashes and I start shaking pretty bad. I know my body is just reacting to thoughts. Does anyone else experience similar feelings/thoughts like this? I’m absolutely terrified everyday and don’t know what else to do. I recently started Fluvoxamine 50 mg 2 weeks ago and was put back on Abilify 2mg. I started the Abilify 3 days ago. I don’t feel anything as of yet.

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.
