I was put back on Prozac after a 3-4 month break due to feeling stressed. 8 days in and I feel awful. Achy, bad stomach, nausea, loss of appetite, shakey, anxious and wobbly. I understand that these are normal side effects but they are making me feel unwell. Anyone else feel like this and should I carry on in the hope things will get better ? Thanks
Were you put back straight on your previous dosage?
Yes 20mg
ok...that was a little unkind of the doctor
Well you should start evening out in the next few days (10 days on average for the worst of symptoms). If you are feeling progressively worse during this time, or you get any strange urges, do contact your prescribing doctor.
What is happenning now is the re-adjustment to the chemical along with some tension relief. yes it is normal at this point, but watch for the above signs.
I would not stop the medication now. If you continue actually getting worse you need to see your doctor though.
All the best.
Thank you for your advice. I'm hoping that things settle soon and I start to feel the benefits
Any better?
