I've been on prozac for almost 3 months. My apetite comes and goes. I still get nauseous. Mornings are really bad. I get more concerned when family and friends tell me I look sick. Thin. Im a size 1 but have lost more weight since proxac. And cant seem to gain any more.

Do you feel any better at all after 3 months Clay? I've lost a tonne of weight too but started to get my appetite back. I was then upped a dose and lost it again. I've had a runny tummy for months
Have you been on the same dose for 3 months?

You might need a higher dose Clay. Once it is working you'll be able to face the issues in your life more easily. You certainly have a lot on your plate. It would make anyone anxious for sure. I upped and I feel much better after 21 days or so and have less anxiety. However we're all different so no guarantees.

You are very strong dealing with the insomnia. Yesterday I worked half a day and went to 2 appointments. I would have never been able to do all of that even a few days earlier, so I know it is doing something.

About 18 days I think Clay. My sleep is beyond awful. It got worse when I upped but I sense it is getting slightly better, and I really do mean slightly. Meanwhile I've been on addictive Zopiclones.

Wow Stacey look at you! So how are you sleeping? You've had a huge improvement.
I know mine will pass (I think) because I was sleepy on Prozac last time around, but then I think if I was sleepy on it was I depressed in some way ... might be the wrong med for me compared to another but don't think I'll be switching in a hurry.

"Every day is different" ... I know, it's crazy. I just want to be consistent, and sleep too

How are you doing? I went up to 60 last week, so feeling shaky, and up and down.

Appetite will come back eventually, it takes a while. I have the same problem. Last time I was so thin, and people said the same thing. As long as you eat what you can, you will be fine. I really think people say that because they wish they were thin. This was my experience over 20 years ago, nothing happened to me, and I went on to get married and have 2 kids. It will take some time, but it will come back. This time I’m losing weight again, and I started out as a 4, I’ve lost 10 pounds already. The Dr is not worried at all. Please don’t let it get to you, be strong and tell them this is where you are now and you are going to be fine.
