Still anxious, unable to sleep for more than two hours.

What mg are you on , I am week 3 prozac same feelings, I have had to go down to 5mg, not so much anxiety now and can sleep better, I asl take propranolol, and have diazapan when needed, but that dos,nt help when I was on 10mg, no sleep is a killer, The jerk feeling is I think your dose is to high, it's overload of anxiety, it's terrible that we are put on tablets to help depression and anxiety, but they give you it more 10 times more, they say give them 6 to 8 weeks to work easy said than done, I am better on 5 mg at the moment may go to 7mgnext week, please get back thank you

Hi Mikey, yes the side affects can be torturous. It should get better as time goes on. As one person told me on this forum is that it is a sign of the meds working. When I first started this med i would get such strong anxiety attacks, i thought i was dying. I had other issues as well. But I'm on week 13 and I feel so much better. What amount are you on? I'm on 50. They say it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get full relief but i have to say that it took me alittle longer, but it doesn't mean that it will be the same for you. Everyone is different. Hope this helped some.

I was the same but for two weeks straight when I first started on 50 I had every side effect you could think of all at once everyday for two weeks was awful I couldn’t cope but I hung in there and I’m now on week 4 I feel so possative I am quite sleepy a lot but I’m sure in time that will get better you just got to hang in their x
