It's day 17 of Prozac and I feel like how I did a year ago when I stopped taking seroquel an antipsychotic.. I feel like these drugs are harming my body I feel crazy .. I can only sit and lie in my bedroom I have no motivation or drive .. I am literally crying a and listening to music because anytime I leave my house I feel sick . Whatever is wrong with me is desteoying me . I see no hope . I'm afraid of people . I feel uncomfortable around people ... I feel sick .. I cant pay for something's or buy something it freak a me out .. I couldn't stay in the shopping centre or go food shopping because it freaked me out ..

    Let me tell you something!!! People do know how you feel. There are so many of us! Apparently, prozac is not the answer for you. Keep making it through...you are going to find one that will work. Go plead with your Dr. Tell he/she how you are feeling. Be honest! They wont be able to help you if you're not. You are not alone! Get down on your knees and start praying to God for relief. He has pulled me out of so many deep waters. You are going to be ok. You have your whole beautiful life ahead. What people wouldnt give for that! You can make it. One minute at a time. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! God bless!

      It does take some time for prozac to work and i am not a dr. but im pretty sure you shouldnt feel this way. I had to go back on zoloft. This is day 7 back on zoloft. Feeling much better. I was having intrusive thoughts, dizziness, terrible heartburn, weakness, etc. It was horrible. Talk to your dr. It will all be ok. Hang in there!

    You'll make it. As Tabitha said pray. The Lord has helped through so many trials. And struggles. If you don't know him as your Lord and savior you need to. He's the one that can carry you through this. 1st Samuel 7:12 " thus far the Lord has helped me"

      It'll take awhile for prozac to kick in and become effective. Are you seeing a psychiatrist or a general physician? You should see a psychiatrist for mental health if you don't have one yet.

      Hang in there and you can overcome this. It'll take time to change the chemical in your brain. But please do seek help when you need it!

    I've messaged you too.  These meds make things feel worse to start with - they heightened anxiety, and anxious thoughts are a side effect of the anxiety.  Yes people can and will help you - you're not alone.  Please read that website link I sent - read all of it, each page.  Buy the book too and read through it.  It explains exactly how you're feeling.  I know it feels uncomfortable and frightening but this is anxiety playing its tricks on you.

    Please also go see your doctor or counsellor.  Phone them today / tomorrow.  You need to have support during these first few weeks / months on these meds.

    I've been in exactly the same place as you are right now.  I didn't think anyone could help me ....... but I recovered.  You can too.  Everyone can.  I know this may seem hard to believe but it is anxiety that is doing this.  It makes you think differently.  Without it you wouldn't feel like this.

    You will get over this.

    You are not alone. I do know how you feel also. I am on my 6th day of Prozac and my depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts can be all consuming. Talk to you doctor about getting some anti anxiety medication to help you through till the Prozac kicks in. 

    It can take up to 8 weeks before we are to feel the effects of this medication. I cry quite often everyday with the weight of these feelings. 

    Katecoggs can you please send me the link/book information you sent spice67422.

    I wish you the best and believe you can get through this.

    Laurie
