    I've never taken Prozac Glenn but my last experience with Citalopram sent my anxiety off the scale. 

    I think a common side effect with most anti ds is increased anxiety at the beginning of treatment or when the dose increased but that generally doesn't last.

    Everybody is different and not everybody gets the same side effects. Are you struggling with increased anxiety on Prozac?

    I have been in prozac for a week and today there was a time I actually felt peace. But two hours later it wore off. But it is helping

    Prozac was the worse drug I ever took.  But some people can tolerate it.  Yes my anxiety was through the roof, and I had to stop it because I was so ill.
