On my 10 th day of 20 mg Prozac. Anxiety, nausea, shakes, confusion and depression. .5mg clonazepam not helping. I can't go on like this. I just want to die to get away from the pain. I'm so scared. I'm so afraid I will never get better. Some one help please.

I know exactly how you feel. I know I'm not supposed to say that! I felt exactly as you describe and I am getting better- I'm not 100% but I'm not desperate anymore. I know you feel like dying as the pain is so great, but you do not have that option, so you need to get through it. I have been on Fluoxetine now for five months and I never thought I'd be able to endure it but I did.
You need to fully occupy yourself for the next few weeks until it becomes more endurable. By about eight weeks you will feel a bit better, so you just need to make it through until then. You don't need to enjoy it or feel well - just make it through those weeks. You will make it and you WILL get better. You just need to be patient and it will happen. Promise!
Make up your mind to get through the next eight weeks. I watched box sets back-to-back on my iPad whilst doing dot-to-dot as it was the only way I could get through it.

Thank you so much Joanna. I don't feel so alone when Other people share their experiences with me. I try hard every day but the moments still come when I doubt that it will ever be normal again. It's crazy that it takes so long for a medication to get into your system and work fully. It doesn't make sense to me.
I wish you all the best too. You have helped me today.

Currently on day 7 quit cold turkey Zoloft and started Prozac 20 mg requested by my doctor who said there'd be no side effects (lies) and I've been having diarrhea, vomiting, shaking, dizziness, vertigo, derealization and a new addition is reoccurring gastritis that I had in August-November 2016. My convulsions from my conversion disorder has gotten worse. Trying to get in touch with my doctor to see how I can come off and go back on the Zoloft and not one response from her and I'm angry. I don't know what to tell you except I hope you get thru this very soon. I think after this Prozac I am never switching or taking antidepressants ever again. Best of luck keep getting thru each day one at a time ??
