Adrenalin feeling and nervousness

[Maddis mum]

3 weeks on prozac and I keep waking up with this adrenalin feeling and nervousness running through my body. Has anyone else experienced this and did it go away?

Hi there,

Just to say I am on day 8 now with Fluoxetine and keep waking up (if I manage to fall asleep) feeling nervous with heart racing, it's so horrible.

I'm just hoping that it will go away soon. Hope you're feeling better.

Hi, yes I am on week 3 too and feel the same. Nervous and then goes to panicy. Awful upset stomach too from the nervous feeling.
Doctor has just prescribed me diazepam to help with these feelings, that she said will go away once I'm more used to the prozac. Might be an option for you? I've only tried them for one day so I can't really say if they help, but lots of people report that they do.

It's horrible isn't it. Today I woke a lot better and slept better. I am on on week 4 and I increased my prozac to 30 3 days ago. So far so good. Have felt some improvement.
