Anxiety and on Prozac day 14

Mental health
1

I have been on Prozac 10mg for anxiety. The first seven days were horrible with side effects then I had three great days back to back. Now five days later I'm getting a lot of side effects again lack of motivation tired sleepy yawning no appetite legs feel weak white phlegm dry mouth light headaches nausea stomach pain. How much longer before all these side effects stop? When is the Med going to really start to kick in I understand it's a slow acting med. I heard it's a one of the best meds for anxeity.

I just want to feel better soon.

Pros waiting for the full effect of the med

Conn still having side effects

Yesterday I went to a psychiatrist she gave a prescription of Buspar. I don't know if it works

Give it 4 to 6 weeks! Hang in there!

I just needed some reassuring . I have heard good things about that med. I know they all have side effects.

Thank you

Hello

I have taken a lot of different meds for anxeity.

Buspar being one it was ok for about 4 hours then the anxiety came again I was on 7.5mg. You can always try it just to see if it works for you .

Good luck

It 10mg

You should be good at 10mg. Give it a try I am on Prozac 10mg I take it at night. Some of these med have some side effects and they take a few weeks to take effect.

Good luck with your med

I have to take it 2x day with food

I would take on with breakfast and then maybe the other during lunch time.

Good luck.

Hello pedro

You need to give this medication time to work. Approx five weeks

Will the side effects stop any time soon.

Hang in there! My moms been on Prozac for like 20 years. Took about a month for her to start to feel the full benefit from it

Thank you so much for the information

After the five weeks the side effects will reduce although you will get these every now and then they will not be as bad as in the beginning hopefully

Hi Pedro! Theres a forum on here for prozac. Its under the name fluoxetine. Feel free to go to my profile and look at my posts on there. Im 6.5 weeks in and slowly tapering up and have been tracking my progress on a thread in that forum. I've been on 10mg for over 4 weeks now and starting to see a ton of improvement in my anxiety

Maybe it's time to move to 20mg, Pedro, and wait a full eight weeks to see the benefits.
