So I have just started prozac (fluoxetine) and this is my 5th day on the medication. I have been being pressured by my therapist to get on some sort of meds for months because I am having a terrible rabies fear and my anxiety disorder has been worse than ever before. He tried to put me on zoloft first but I would feel dizzy and feverish every time I took a pill so he suggested prozac. I haven't had any bad experience so far but I am concerned because its only my 5th day and I already seem to be having side effects? I had really abnormal pins and needles in my arm on the 3rd day that came and went all day and night and I haven't had those since, but it was still odd. Yesterday (day 4) I completely lost the ability to cry or panic. Its like I feel extremely overwhelmed like I NEED to have a panic attack or break down in tears but I physically can't. No matter how hard I try I can't cry or express those emotions. I realize this can be a side effect of most anti depressants and anxiety meds but this is only day 5 so I am really concerned and scared thinking it must be the disease I am worried I have. Is it possible to feel any effects at all so early on or is something wrong with me?

Having terrible shaking and tremors/spasms in my arms and hands now, especially my fingers. I am flipping out trying to calm down and not rush myself to the hospital but this is terrifying since I am so worried I have rabies. Somebody please tell me if this is normal prozac side effect stuff or not.
