Day 13 on Prozac. Anyone else??
Posted , 15 users are following.
Today is day 13 on Prozac. I take 10 mg for health anxiety. It's been a roller coaster of side effects. The first few days weren't too bad. I was super tired and a little more anxious than usual. Days 5-7 I had awful nausea, dizziness, blurry vision, headache. Got better for a few days after that and I only had the headache and was tired. Yesterday the nausea and dizziness came back. Also feeling really anxious, having periods of sweating, just feel yucky. Saw my doctor today and she said to try to stick it out, as it takes quite some time for the body to adjust. I don't want to change drugs again so am going to try hard to get thru this. Anyone else have similar side effects??

Hi,
Overall I'm doing much better. I saw that you are having a rough time right now - hang in there. I wanted to quit last week and I'm glad I didn't. The worst of the side effects have gotten so much better. These days I still just feel some flu like symptoms, kind of achy and hot. But I'm trusting that like all of the other symptoms, this will pass soon too.
Thanks for checking!

Hey i know this is a old thread, but just seeing if anyone can help.
im on day 13 of 20mg of prozac i struggle with health anxiety badly. i have the worst nausea specially when i wake up at night or in the mornings. i have lower back pain and a sore abdomen these side effects make me worse and think the worse case scenario which sucks.
how long until these pass im trying to hang in and keep taking my dose but its hard. thanks.
