Irritability & anger symptoms but I've only been on it for 10 days

I have been on Wellbutrin and Celexa for around 7 years. At one point I thought doing great so I went off of them. That was a big mistake I because extremely depressed and anxious. The anxiety part was new. So I ended up going to a psychiatrist because my old GP was the one prescribing before. So i was put on my old regime of wellbutrin xl and Celexa and also for the anxiety Xanax and then Klonopin after I wasn' sure if I liked Xanax. 

A while later I ended up moving out of state. So my current psychiatrist gave me three months worth until I found a new one in the new state. Eventually I got around to it and found a new psychiatrist and she gave me my wellbutrin and Celexa, but wouldn't prescribe me Xanax or Klonopin because they are supposedly addicting. I guess it's because this is a conservative state because where I came from they were not like this. I was a little upset that I wouldn't be able to take antianxiety medicine but also am too lazy to see if there is any doctor that would prescribe it and sound like some addict. 

So my doctor upped my celexa to see if that would help with my anxiety and she get be some antihistamines or something that I thought was really stupid to prescribe for such severe anxiety. 

My next appointment she thought she'd take me off of my celexa all together and prescribe me prozac. She said it'd help with my anxiety. 

FYI she didn't take me off wellbutrin even though it is shown to get you energy...and I didint want to because when I was really low that helped bring me back to life. 

I have been on Prozac for 10 days. So third day I experience bad nausea but I was indifferent to whether it was the Rx since how would it kick in that fast. It only lasted a dat. I didn't get nausea anymore. 

I come to my problem now. Yesterday I was very irritable but I am on my period so I thought it just had to do with that. Then Today the 10th day I was sitting in the living room feeling just so irritable. I couldnt get comfortable and my clothes were annoying me how they felt on my body, I just started feeling weird and started freaking out and throwing a fit and crying. 

I went home to go change my clothes but I started freaking out even more just I felt so weird all tensing up my muscles and whining how I couldn't feel comfortable and how I have lost motivation in my pursuit of exercising,,,having felt no progress and how much I hate myself and how I am fat and I just want to rip off all my skin and I end up just hitting my arms and legs like I do when I am angry. I was feeling like killing myself something I haven't felt in a long time. I was just throwing a fit.

I have some left over Xanax I had that I take for emergencies. I never felt this irritable and angry and wanting to peel my skin off on my period so I I took so assume it is a side of the medication. 

I really dont want to have to try another SSRI because I want this prozac to help my anxiety! Because I know she won't Prescribe Xanax or 

Klonopin. Please tell me this will get. Better. 

Is this actually a side effect so soon after taking it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
