I've been suffering from on and off flu like symptoms and fatigue for the past 2 years. It used to happen every 6 months, then every 2 month, then every other week and now it is consistently feeling sick. I did every test in the book and my doctor eventually told me this was caused by anxiety. He started me on 20 mg Prozac 2 weeks ago and the flu like symptoms have multiplied by 5 to a degree I can't get out of bed and when I do I feel like I'm just a dead person walking. Doctor advised to take small dose of Xanax but I feel this is just a temporary solution. Anyone experienced similar side effects and will this pass, will there be light at the end of this tunnel? Appreciate all the help.
