    Hi maylee6! I don't take Prozac I take Citalopram (celexa) 20mg, and I started on 10mg, I started with some really unusual side effects like twitching etc! But I often feel sick due to anxiety so I may have felt a bit ill to begin but I didn't notice! It's a normal side effect according to the packaging and you may feel worse anxiety for the first week or 2 but honestly, you have started the hardest part and I would urge you to keep going through the side effects, 6 weeks in and I want To go back to work, yet 6 weeks ago i wouldn't/couldn't even leave my bedroom! It could be that Prozac isn't the drug for you but keep reminding yourself that something out there WILL helpsmile I hope you feel better soon!!

    Hi Maylee6,

    i have been on fluxotene Prozac 20mg for 3 months now and it took a long time to kick in. I had all the side effects you are having and I thought they would never kick in, but I am 100% better now.  I am abroad on holiday at the moment and 6 weeks ago I thought I would never be able to come on this lovely Xmas holiday with my friend and her daughter, but here I am and having a wonderful Xmas. Hold in there and you will definitely be better soon. Keep taking the meds. All the best.
