    Hiya chic, ow I’m so sorry your feeling this way, not nice when you do... like we’ve always spoke, we are all different, and this med can effect us all in different ways, maybe talk to your doc and see where to go... personally I think the does is to low, to feel the benifit of Prozac, at 20mg I was still not good, and was having up and down days, it wasn’t untill I went up, that I felt the best and the days evened out... 

    I know you’ve tried it but couldn’t cope, but unfortunately we have to fight the symptoms we get with Prozac, and push on the best you can,  but for you I’m not sure what’s best, maybe your doc will, please sit and talk to them, it’s always hard to start a new med, but just maybe that’s how you have to go, I’m not sure...

    I myself couldn’t or wouldn’t want to come of Prozac now, as Iv got pass your stage and feel happy for once..

    So near to Xmas chic, I know it’s very hard wen some one says try and get on, as all you want to say is get lost, as u don’t want to put on this front and smile..

    All you can do is get through this Xmas, then please go and talk to your doc again, and see how you go, good luck and let us know how it goes big hug 🤗xx

      Most meds have side effects any way, I take 32 tablets a day for all my other health problems, and if I read up on all the side effect I wouldn’t take them lol... but got to take them if I’m going to feel better, that’s how I see it, then my body just adjust to them all... well let’s hope your ok on them and it works, have a lovely Xmas and do enjoy it for your daughter at least big hug🤗xx
