Hi all firstly I'm glad to have found a chat forum for Prozac . I'm on day 4 now and the side effects are insane . Yesterday was the worst yet , I'm not eating and have very bad diarrhoea. I'm also on quetiapine aswell , I was taking sertraline but that didn't agree with me so the doctor put me on flu . I'm trying so hard to get better , I live in my bedroom and struggling to go outside . I know it's not an instant fix but can someone give me a ruff timetable on side effects and when I should be feeling better . Thank you all

    I understand. You feel so helpless and hopeless. You can't imagine ever feeling good again. You're tired of hurting. But please don't give up. It WILL get better. It just takes some time. I know it's very hard but try and focus on something else besides how you are feeling if even for a bit. I found writing in a journal helped me. I love walking. I could go for hours with my dog but when I got sick I didn't want to get up. I eventually forced myself to get up and go for short walks. Usually where I wouldn't have to see or talk to people. I did not enjoy it in the beginning. That discouraged me some as I felt so sad that something I once loved to do brought me no joy. I kept going. Slowly I stared to focus on my dog, the environment around me. Not just stay in my head. I started to find it a reprieve from feeling crappy. It's very hard but try and get out of your own head and thoughts if only for a minute here and there. Repeat to yourself, I am not alone, many other people have gotten better and so will I. You can do this hon and I want to be here to hear from you as you get better.

    You are stronger than you think.
