Have been on Prozac for eight weeks. Still waking at night at morning with nausea and dizziness. I feel like I’m starting a panic attack but it doesn’t actually get to a full one. I feel better in the afternoon so think some improvement but so scared it’s not working. Had no idea it would take so long or be so hard to stick with. I am on 20 mg. can anyone offer a glimmer of hope please xx

I have no advice I'm afraid as I too feel the same. I've been about 5 weeks (upped them to 20mg just under 2weeks ago) and I feel just as bad. I wake with what I think are panic attacks but they never quite reach a full one. Still have worrying thoughts that I can't shake all the time and Im more depressed at times although like you say I feel a bit better by the afternoons. I'm worried that 20mg isn't enough and I'll need to have them upped again-which terrifies me. Maybe this is the case for you too? I'm not a doctor so I don't know but maybe it's a discussion you need to have with your gp? I really hope you feel better soon. Xx

Hiya caz... rrr bless you but I know how you feel, the trouble is we all want them good days to work as soon as we start Prozac
(Me too) but it just don’t, it’s such a slow working med, and can take up to 10/12 weeks if not longer to work, you will get good days a well as bad ones, so just try and out ride those bad ones, you will do that, like Julie just said one day you wake up and feel good again, and that’s how it is with Prozac, very good when it works, but very crap to get through the symptoms, but you will so keep strong, I’m on 60mg and been on it for 8mth now and I feel great and can smile again, so stick with it chic, you will look back on this one day and for get the bad days you have.. good luk and keep talking on here big hug 🤗x
