Contemplating Prozac

Hello, I suffer from GAD and some depression. One of my major symptoms is lightheadedness and dizziness along with raising heart, an bit shaky at times. I currently take Propranalol which helps when I get heart palpitations which feel like if I've finished up a long and exhausted marathon. Now, my doctor wants me to try Prozac for my anxiety, I have the prescrition bottle, but I haven't started yet. I'm still contemplating on taking it. I think I'm concern about the side effects and everything Dr. Google has told me. I would like to ask if there's any of you that has seen improvement with lightheadedness and dizzines while on prozac as well as less panic attacks and heart raising.

Thank you,

Olga V

      Thank you for your reply. The dizziness is awful. How long have you been taking Prozac? I've heard that sometimes it takes up to three months to work. Hope your symptoms get better.
