Help! Day 16 On Prozac and Feel so sick

Treatment and medication
21

i take lexapro but also take wellbutrin with it. could that be something to consoder to curb the anxiety?

I know it's really hard right now but we have to believe that this will get better and that we will get back to much brighter days. I journal everything every day and find it really helps to look back over the days and see all the little changes that have taken place. It was only Wednesday when I was a complete wreck and couldn't stop the panic attacks all day long. Today is much better, I'm eating better, have been out to the shop and have just a bit more motivation. There will be ups and downs but hopefully soon the ups will outweigh the downs. Thinking of you and hope things start to improve for you really soon 😊

Hi Katie and Jude, how are you both doing? I feel like I'm through the start-up side effects, but now I'm just back to where I was! Severe anxiety on waking and then all day! Not feeling any benefit yet. Nearly three weeks on 20mg :(

24

Hi Lucy, it's great to hear that the side effects are passing for you and that can only make things easier going forward. Hopefully once you can eat a bit more and not worry about the side effects things will start to fall into place. I found I had a much better weekend. The terrible morning anxiety is still there but passing much earlier in the day and the afternoons and evenings were so much easier. I'm certainly not where i want to be but moving in the right direction and hopefully you will too. It seems to be a long road but we will get there!

Hi Lucy,

Sorry to hear the anxiety bad...have you spoke to your doctor?

The mornings are still bad with anxiety for me!! I hate waking up!! Day 23 today no side effects but still no appetite...the anxiety seems to start wearing off afternoon and evenings..I am still not 100 % yet but hoping that I am 3 weeks in and another 3 weeks want to start feeling happier!! ive been reading up on the SAD syndrome...thinking maybe I have that 

Hey Jude,

Glad your moving in the right direction!!

Hi Katie and Jude,

It sounds like you are both moving in the right direction, if the anxiety is wearing off by the afternoon and evenings are better. That's really good! Can't help feeling envious! Think I need to see the doc, as I have severe anxiety/agitation all day, no let up :(

Hi Katie! How are things going for you? You haven't posted in a while, so I can hopefully presume that's good news and things are improving for you? Lucy x
