Hi guys!

I'm in month 2 of prozac now. Started at 10mg, then 20mg for a month, then 30mg for a month. Now ive been on 40mg for a little over a week. I keep getting this internal shaking. Sometimes you can see that i'm shaking but usually not. It comes and goes. Stays for a few days then gone for a few days. Has anyone ever had this? I was on prozac before for 8 years and i never had this side effect! I'm scared of serotonin syndrome. But i was on 40mg before too.

    Yes that happened to me and is a common symptom of SSRI's. I should go away eventually. I takes a while.

    Yes the shaking scared the hell out of me but they disappeared  as quick as they came.  Isn't it good to know that it's normal - I thought I was seriously ill until I came on this site xx

    Thank you both so much for your replies! I really did think there was something really wrong with me. But it's so nice to know other people have had this too!
