hi guys. day 6 here on prozac

today im feeling very stimulated like im

on speed or cocaine or like iv had 10 coffees all at once. its kind of scary and i feel like itll turn into anxiety if i dont use the extra energy properly haha

its sort of like anxiety with less fear. its a bit unpleasant because i want to relax sometimes

is this normal? now im worried i have undiagnosed bipolar or something.

im taking it for anxiety

    This is actually normal as your body and brain needs to adjust to the chemicals. You sound like you have a massive rise of cortisol (stress hormone) it might be worth you trying to find ways to reduce it. walking, swimming, healthy diet, magnesium. If you You tube "How to calm my nervous system " this may help 😊
