First Day

Hello, I am 14 years old and I just started 10mg Prozac for depression and bad anxiety and panic attacks. When I first took the pill I felt a bit upbeat and then it all went down from there. Later on my stomach started to hurt very badly, yawning alot but not able to sleep, I've been up all night because of the stomach pain will this go away soon? Should I be worried?

Hi Daniel

Dont worry, this is very normal and these symptoms will pass.  You might find your anxiety will get much worse too in the beginning, but again that will pass.  You should start to feel very slightly better after about 2 weeks, and you should improve as time goes by.

Good luck, and keep in touch here.  There are many people to support you.

Thank you. smile Glad to hear this is all normal and will pass

It will, and you might find you'll get other side effects too, but they should all pass.

Good luck! confused

I'm about a week ahead of you - but a lot older - and what you are experiencing is about the same as me. I feel better today so maybe te first days are the worst?

hi Daniel

You should give yourself a big pat on the back for 1 knowing you have a problem and are getting the help you need at a  young age. i feel if i got the help when i was your age i wouldnt be struggling now. welldone my friend i hold my hat off to you.

Thank you very much for that. Makes me feel great to hear someone say that smile I wish you luck.
