So I was given Prozac as I was really nervous for a new job.. specifically for physical training which is very dynamic.. However I started taking the Prozac a few weeks ago, and I felt a lot more nervous.. Palms sweating etc, as a result I couldn't continue the physical course because I was so nervous, do you think the Prozac may have contributed towards this?

Yep.. anxiety gets worse with Prozac.. especially around that 2-3 week mark... it starts getting less and less but slowly after that.

Can you redo the physical again?

  Yes, but do you have any tips in terms of medication?

  Just keep taking it as you are.. you are so in the early days that it has not even started to do what it does yet.
