Hi! Today I started my 5th week on Prozac. I had a few AMAZING days and was starting to see some light. The past two days have been horrible. My mood is low (I feel like lower than when I started), I'm feeling anxious about things I haven't been anxious about in so long. My anxiety still isn't as bad as when I started the medication but I'm starting to worry... Do you think it's because It's still early and I will get better. Thank you for any support!!! I get anxious about this.

    Hi! so i was in the same position as you a few years ago, it is normal to have good and bad days, full effect is reached about 8 weeks so you have to wait a little. Being excesively aware of your feelings makes you feel worse, i suggest trying to keep your mind busy as much as you can.
