I know ive posted something similar before-my anxiety when i have bad episodes itmanifests through my physical symptoms. im on 20mg on flux for 5 weeeks. and i still have such hard days. Yesterday (mind you I have had no energy and not able to do much at all since this episode started) and i think i pushed my self to far cuz today i got super tired and nauseous and anxious all day!!!! anyone get like this with anxiety and while on meds?
Yes it sounds familiar. The side effects are terrible. The Dr said they will go away eventually. It’s hard waiting.
Hi Tina .. yes they will get easy, Prozac sooooo slow to work, you may find going up may help you, or just give your self more time, for ME ( and I mean me) 20mg Just was not enough to comback the symptoms you’ve got, I use to have more bad days on 20 then the good ones, so after 4weeks I went up to 40, and that levelled things out a lot better for me...
My daughter as been on 20 mg Prozac for 2 yrs, and she’s still as a crap day now and again, Iv said to her, just maybe you need to try a higher dose if you are still having probs, but she is still on the 20,mg and just puts up with the bad days...
just depends what YOU want ..
Good luk chic, hope your looking forward to Xmas, and happy Christmas to every one eles out there big hug 🤗x
Hi! Just wanted to say I’m at the same place as you- 5 weeks in on 30 mg and I had horrendous start up side effects- many panic attack a day, increase in ocd thoughts, and nausea. I’m slowly feeling much more like myself but am having good and bad days. Today I’m feeling super anxious. Wanted to offer support.
Thanks dawn. Just not sure what to do. I think I have too much adrenaline for my meds or since it’s a low dose.
Since I stopped the doxepin I’ve lost most of my apetite again. And feel nauseous. I’m gonna wait till Christmas to see if I should try tradazone or something else for my gut and combo for prozac.
Is your daughter the same as me and scared to up her meds?
Tina- Wanted to add that I am also nervous about going up on the dose. My NP said to wait at least 2 more weeks on this dose for the side effects to totally settle. I’m not ready to create more side effects!! I have been able to taper completely off the 1 mg Klonopin I was taking a day at the beginning for the panic- so I guess that’s a sign the Prozac is starting to work.
I hope you have a nice holiday and your days continue to improve ❤️
Sweet pea I really truly appreciate that. I am again feeling so anxious out of nowhere (we’ll im thinking of the holidays and how I don’t want to feel anxious or nauseous or weird while at my family’s house then my boyfriends house). I did prozac years ago and it took along time to work so I’m trying to remember that but it really
Is scary and hard to get thru these days.
You did make me feel more supported. Please keep me updated on your next few days.
Hi tina Im on week 4 almost 5. I still get anxiety. These past few days have been really bad. I think its because I have a family trip coming up. Im just so scared to be away from home. Maybe its the anxiety keeping me away from seeing further to have a good time w my family.
wow same clay. i am sitting here all day thinking about how i will be at families house tom for christmas eve then christmas day with bofriends family. sooooo much anxiety as i dont even have the energy along with physical /emotional symptoms. i dont know how but well get through it. its pretty tough tho. thinking after christmas i might ask doc to tag on another SSRI. 2 may work better. at least ive experienced that,
I’m on a family trip right now. I hope J make it through.
I'm the same Tina. One thing I'd say is avoid salt, sugar, fried stuff as they increase anxiety, but usually there are a selection of plain unsalted nbuts and they are great for it

Oh and definitely avoid chocolate!
Sweet pea. How are you doing now? I am still hoping for more improvement. But see little signs here and there.
Happy Christmas Tina..
No my daughter is just stubborn lol, she just don’t want to listen to any one..
Trazadone was very good for me, I lasted 15 yrs on it, and I had no side effects from it, and it was great as it gave me a good nite sleep, every nite without fail..
Maybe it would be a good one for you as your sencitve to meds, just make sure you take it WHEN your in bed, as wen I tuk my first one, within 30 min I felt like I was drunk and struggled to climb the stairs, so I learnt not to take untill I’m in bed and ready for sleep, as when your laying down you feel fine with it, just moving around what was not nice lol...
if it had not stopped working for me I would of stayed on it all the time, as it was fine, you may need to possibly fine and try other meds untill you fine one that works for you... have a wonderful Xmas day ☃️❄️big hug 🤗 xx
how did it go clay?
Hi dawn. Merry Christmas hope it was good.
My weekend was good at first. J tried to rest so I’d have energy for Christmas as I had 3 functions to go to and it was going on. But the second half when I had my boyfriends family to go see and lots of driving for that I started having major panic not too mention I’ve had insomnia 2 nights in a row! It’s been miserable. I was so anxious and shaky and nauseous and tingly it was awful. I even took Xanax and it didn’t do it’s best last night when i finally came home. I’ve been trying to recoup but still no sleep. Took my prozac this morning per usual and still had major panic from no sleep so took Xanax and that helped a little. Finally tried to take a nap and I got an hour and a half. So I guess better than nothing. Doctor wants to up prozac . Ugh so nervous about that. If she’s willing to give me more time off work to regain my strength and possible side effects then I will try it.
Thank you for asking dawn. How are you? Also she’s gonna prestige trazadone for me. I remember you saying it makes me feel drunk and sleepy at first.
Hi tina I didn't go after all . I have more anxiety and insomnia.
So ya know since prozac and my anxiety have crippled my apetite I don’t eat sugar anymore and avoid junk food. So I guess that’s good but I do need more things to boost my seritonin . Your so good at that!
I shouldn’t have done my functions. I ended up having the worst anxiety and I’m still recovering. And my stomach got so many pains from al the anxiety. What a mess.
I so nearly went to 40mg this morning Tina. Felt utterly depressed when I got up, along with the anxiety. It'll boost until about 6pm then it's the trip downhill again
