Hello everybody,
I've been on Prozac for about three weeks now and yesterday I had a really bad anxiety attack. I feel as if I can't focus and feel overwhelmed. I'm also having a hard time waking up every morning. I could sleep all day if I wanted to 
. I'm wondering if these side effects are something that will pass or will I have to deal with them with this drug? Has anyone had these issues on this drug ? Should I maybe consider talking to my doctor and seeing if there's something else for me?
Hello so sorry your so ill from it but I've bin on fluoxetine for 11 weeks now and it does pass after 5-6 weeks but depending how bad the anxiety is as my anxiety has come back and feel so tired and struggling for breathe and heavy chest feeling.. I'm at ends wits with it all feel like I'm getting better but back to square one again I don't know if I need to up my dose what dose are you on pip..
Thank you for responding. I feel like the drug might've worked for the first couple weeks but I just don't think I'm improving much. I don't have an issue with breathing but more of a overwhelming feeling. Unable to sort each duty they need to accomplish. If you want to private message me and let me know if upping the dosage works for you at some point please do. Thank you again
It will pass at about 1 month mark, I had the same problem, I could sleep all day and night! It does get better!!
It will pass just takes time I suffer with gad and I no it's a serious mental disorder and I no it's gonna take a long time before I feel better
