Avatar f tn After reading your second post about it, I don't think you're experiencing ALL withdrawal symptoms - it sounds like you should be on something. I do the same thing - I'll stop taking the medication, go through the withdrawal, and then the anxiety hits me again. Usually, just the light-headedness and nausea are good indications of withdrawal symptoms, but everyone's different. If the Prozac didn't help, I'd say try the Wellbutrin - it worked for me.
2044839 tn?1331255841 While I am not currently on Prozac, I did take it years ago and it worked very well for me. I took klonopin, a different benzo, without a problem as well. I'm not sure what side effects you were having that you are trying to avoid. I currently take Wellbutrin. It has not made me gain weight and it has not affected my sex life like so many of the other anti-depressants. Just a thought in case you need to go down the road of another med. Take care.
Avatar f tn I am on my 4th day of prozac 10mg.....feel spacy a little dizzy and lightheaded, no appetite is this normal? my doc doesn't even think i am depressed and didn't want to prescribe...I have multiple physical symptoms with no diagnosis and wanted to try an antidepressant. I can't say that some of these symptoms were not happening before I started the drug... I just haven't felt right in such a long time...
Avatar f tn I have seen commercials that say Prozac and a list of other antidepressants could cause birth defects. But just like any other medicine, I would talk to your doctor about it.
Avatar n tn I have been on Prozac20 mg for almost 9yrs, Wellbutrin 300 mg bid for about 5 yrs , and Aderrall 30mg SR for 2 yrs. For the last 4yrs i have experienced significant memory loss, word finding difficult, decreased concentration, night sweats and still feel depressed. The Aderall no longer works. I think the Prozac is causing the memory problems and brain fog. My providers says it's not the Prozac. I'm thinking of weaning myself off the prozac first and then the Adderall.
466048 tn?1207707074 I am on prozac as of last Wednesday. I feel the same if not worse than I did a week ago. Could my medication be the cause or is it too soon for it to be working properly? I have hypothyroid, could have that something to do with it?

308205 tn?1213962077 Hi There,, No I havent heard of the study with prozac, However i've been on Prozac for years I would like to hear about this, Interesting for sure!!!
Avatar f tn I took Prozac 20mg for 12 years, started out OK, it gave me lots of energy, I couldn't stop talking and I am a quiet person. Reasons for taking it soon resolved themselves, but I kept taking the meds, big mistake!! I noticed I was always hot when others were not, I would sweat even with moderate activity, never wore a jacket no matter how cold. My vision began to get worse, had to have glasses for reading and driving, I began to have hearing problems, turn the TV up more and more.
Avatar f tn Has anyone taking prozac experienced a foggy headed feeling? It started off with dizziness when I was at 10 mg, but now it is more of a feeling like my head is clouded up (recently stated 20mg). Sometimes it is hard to think clearly. I noticed that it is better when it is dark out. Could this be a side effect that is short term? Or could it possibly just be from anxiety showing through?
Avatar f tn ive just been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder by my doctor and have started taking 20mg prozac daily for the past week-im just wondering how long will it take to 'kick in'? as i feel the past few days my symptoms slightly worsening-is this normal? please help me as i have a chronic fear of going out in public with the past few months, its the strangest feeling!
390848 tn?1215804061 s made me feel depressed, and out of control, also lost my sex drive on them, but when i was prescribed them as a teen i was just to young to make the connection i also know a ton of people who take prozac and it really helps them, prozac is like the fisrt defense when it comes to treating mental illness, shrinks usually start with an ssri and if that doesnt work they add a mood stabilizer, then move onto anti-p's i know for me, when i take ssri's they make me feel as if i am detoxing of
Avatar n tn Hello. I just started Prozac last week, 20 mg. once a day and today will be the 7th day I've been on it. I have actually felt worse since starting it. I have been taking 3-4 xanax a day on top of the prozac, where I was only taking 1-2 a day. I had to get up and leave a meeting today at school in front of the staff because I was having a full blown panic attack! I also have not been wanting to eat and have felt naseous in general! Is this normal?
527657 tn?1214051850 I was put on prozac to help me stop drinking. It didnt work. I also ended up going off it I had a fluttering heart and other bad side effects, I personally think that drug should be banned. It causes stress not relieves it. Now im on paxil im just wondering will i gain weight from this drug?
1260240 tn?1336077448 Prozac is a medication commonly used to treat anxiety whereas risperidone is an antipsychotic that is used to treat irritability and behavior problems in individuals with autism-spectrum disorders. The best that I can tell you is that the medication may help. The most important thing is to make sure that you have a psychiatrist that you work well with and who is responsive to your needs.
1348686 tn?1310654243 So the dr prescribed me prozac for my anxiety after we found out I am allergic to lexapro. Can anyone tell me if they have had any luck with prozac. I am disappointed about the lexapro because even though I was only on it for 3 weeks it was really helping me. I just hate starting new meds....
683892 tn?1231212999 Hey everyone, I'm a recovering addict and my doctor prescribed me prozac. I was just wondering if anyone has used this drug and how their experience was with it. I know it's not an abusable drug, but I'm sure some of you have come across it at some point in your life, seeing as how most addicts are self-medicating for an underlying condition. Thanks. Hope everyone's well.
