So I have suffered with this since I can remember but it's so much worse now every thought in my mind is - how can I not be sick, what if I am sick, where will I be, who will see me be sick and a million other thoughts this is taking over my life now I darent even go outside incase I'm sick. I am petrified beyond belife and I NEED to start living again since I am now 28 and had this since I was about 6. Anyway my doctor has given me Prozac fluxetine and told me to take 5ml/20mg I'm on liquid as I can't swallow tablets I just need some help as I am terrified this medicine will make me sick? And will it actually help with my panic attacks??? Please I'm so low over this I would love to hear from someone who can relate or even shed a bit of light on the situation for me :-)
Hi! I have the same thing, I'm 20 and have been missing uni constantly because I can't even drive in anymore, I was prescribed Prozac 20mg but haven't taken any yet because I'm too scared it'll make me feel ill, sorry I can't help but please let me know how it goes!!

That's exactly the same as me I've missed out on so much at collage lucky I did manage a whole pregnancy without being S**k once lol but I am so scared every time I leave the house it will happen it's taking over my life, lots of people friends and family have taken it before for different things and asured me I'll be fine but I can't get the horror stories I've stupidly read online out of my mind. If I pluck up the courage I will let you know how it goes :-) thanks so much for the reply nice to know your not alone with this 
I have same thing my biggest fear is having nausea and being sick. As when I actually feel I'm gonna be sick I have a pannic attack and feel I'm gonna die as I can't move I feel parylised by the fear and my head goes dizzy which really freaks me out. I make sure I eat early every night so I can digest my food and avoid being or feeling sick.
I use to get anxiety pannic attacks and nausea every day as well as just wanting to die as I was so unhappy before I started flux 10mg for 5 days then 20mg.
Now on day 19 I don't feel anxious every day but yes I did have times and do of bad times the side effects of taking flux but they are getting less and less. And since I started flux my nausea has been so much less as I believe my anxiety was te cause of that nausea and it went in a circle. First two weeks were hard but it's been worth it for me as I feel I'm on the road to recovery. I sleeping better and my temper is calmer. Motivation isn't back but I'm hopeful the longer I take it the better I will feel.
Get some nausea tablets and just start taking it it really has helped me so much.
We all feel alone but we're not as we're all experiencing the same feeling.
Good luck

Hi! My sister had the same thing, luckily it faded miraculously! I am on Prozac and the only side effect I have had was headaches the first two days. It does help calm your panic attacks and I'm only on day 6!
I am the lowest ever. I have been taking flux for 4 weeks. On Friday night I was relaxed and slept well and satday I was uplifted and I thought great they hve finally kicked in, but last night to a sleeping pill to help me relax and I cld not sleep. I am so, so, so down again. I cant seem to pull myself up. I am totally down, down, so I know how you feel Pamela. This feeling is so frightening. I do try and talk to myself positive, but my mood is so low. I feel like a complete zombie again. No interest in anything. I feel so bloody alone. I don't feel sick on this tablet. Just low mood. I am in mental pain. Going to my GP tmrw. Good night. 😢
Oh I really hope your GP is understanding and so sorry to hear u feel so low at the moment it's awful isn't it, I'm here so after appointment please send a message and let me know how you get on :-) wish u all the best with that goodnight
Oh this is brilliant news! I am thinking of taking some tonight before I go to bed not sure if that's a good idea or not as I haven't been told a time to take it at 😁 I just want a day without a panic and all the horrid horrid thoughts at one million a minuet! I am so so happy for u, u must be over the moon to have been panic free for those days so pleased for u keep posting :-) when do u take your meds? And I would I need to put myself in a situation where panic would arise to see if it works as I am usually fine at home (hence why I say in) lol x
Oh I'm so glad to hear something positive as the Internet is full of scary stories 
so glad to hear your doing better.... What happened in the first 2 weeks like how should I except to feel just I'm not currently depressed and only REALLY panicky when I have to leave the house so I'm not sure what it is going to do for me like I don't want the medicine to start making me panic at home the one and only place I feel safe
I'm glad to help! I take mine in the morning (as told my doctor).
Oh and remember it won't work immediately so don't expect the fear to subside the first day. Good luck
I have had a v v v v bad night. I am going completely mad with fear. I simply can not cope on.my own. My friend Sam.is taking care of me. I feel that nothing at all will make me normal ever again. I want this to end. D
Oh I really know how u feel and it's awful it's like every single day is a fight that never ends but all I can suggest is go and see your GP about it I have been like this for over 15 years now and it only gets worse I would go to your GP or maybe try the rob Kelly book on Amazon called thrive I know so many people who had success with this if u look at the reviews on there and videos on YouTube of the book it may help just in the short term till u see your GP honestly it's a good read I wish u all the best keep posting so we can all do this together and not be alone 😊
Thank you so much for your reply taking comfort in the fact that there are other people like me and that you have all been kind enough to reply so thanks for that it's just I don't want my anxiety to get worse first i no it sounds silly but because I only panic when I'm leaving the house I don't want this medicine to start making me panic in the house as that's the one place I feel safe and have SOME relief from this awful crippling fear, I really don't want to be any worse as I don't want to create more problems like starting to panic at home n things like other have said this can do
Hi Pamela don't Let the side effects put you off they do pass and ate joy the same for everyone. Start on lower dose and up after five days to a week. If you have anxiety and its causing depression then that's why your doctor have given you this medicine to make you better. Doctor can give beta blockers or such for the side effects. Each day is different and when you stop that head from driving you crazy as the meds kick in its such a relief you'll wish you took them years ago.
Expect it could get worse before it gets much better buy again your not alone were all here having same experience. I'm starting week four and sleeping really well not waking up anxious in the night or morning anymore which is so lovely.
Keep in touch
Peace wished
Alice ❤️
Oh I'm so glad your having some good sleep see at the moment I sleep fine and I sleep through this is why I'm scared the medicine will make more problems that I have currently I thank you so much for your kind words and positive thoughts :-)
Hi! Are you on Prozac? Did you used to wake up with bad anxiety every morning? That's one of the only problems I have left
Yes I'm on 20mg am I did use to wake up with anxiety that was after about two weeks on them had an intense few days then things got much better.
Don't wake up anxious anymore but get it in waves sometimes then do a anxiety release meditation really does help.
Happiness wished xxx
