Side effects...

Posted , 3 users are following.

Has anyone had their head feel weird..for lack of a better word. It feels full like around the top and temples. I know it builds up your sertonin level, I wonder if that's it. It doesn't hurt or anything. I feel all sorts of different things in my body going on some days and I start to overthink. Other than that, the Prozac has really helped, stopped panic attacks and I am not riddled with anxiety.

    Hi Kimberly, glad it's helped you out a lot! It has me too! I do have some days where my head feels a little weird-but mine I think are more like a dull headache. Not all of the time, but who knows what it is-I attribute mine to the change of seasons & sinus type issues.

    Wishing you continued good days!

    i agree its that time of year ! ragweed was blooming the past two weeks here. headaches earaches sensitive eyes and ears , pressure in face.

    by having anxiety and the meds bringing on a little more anxiety at first and you tend to think and worry the worst . i just have to challenge my thoughts and tell myself . i have this in the spring and fall its ok !

    if you are starting on these meds you will have more anxiety and it will definetly make you overthink it does me. and you will have many aches pains and things as you body adjust to the ssris. katecogs a member on here has said that alot of these things fit under the anxiety.

    worry overthinking , indecisiveness, sad , nervous, etc.

    she has really helped me to understand this and it simplifys it , not as overwelming.

    so the anxiety makes you more sensitive to everything.

    and

    starting these meds bring on some side effects at first making you more sensitive!

    sounds simple right ?

    knowing this helps me !

    but its still really tough going through this.

      Thank you Brian! Everything you described is what I have been going through lately. Every single thing I feel within my body I over think it. Like when I got out of a hot shower I was looking at my skin and thought...wow...I see my veins so very well!! It freaked me out...well as we get older our skin thins and you do see them more prominent...but still I was in my head about it. I am just on the prozac 15 weeks, I think it will start to settle in ....hopefully. I'm tired of thinking I am going to fall over dead over the least little thing.
