help needed with prozac

[ruthb1]

i am having a nightmare at the moment, i have been on my new meds for about 10 days now, prozac, and at first i was ok, but over the past 4 or 5 days i have noticed that i am waking up in the middlew of the night and also i am not eating, i am loosing weight again, which is freaking me out as i have been down that road once before, i feel constantly anxious, nervous, cant concentrate on anything, i know it will take a while for the meds to kick in but i am thinking i wish i could go back on my other meds, they seeded to work great, i know i have got to leave it until about 4 weeks but to be honest if i loose anymore weight i am going to start having major panic attacks again.

dont really know what to do, any advice would really help


thanks

hi ruth,
ive been on prozac for nearlt 2yrs now and i still remember how rough it was when i first went on them. it was bloody horrible but it does get better.i should try and stick with it if you can-youd probably feel just as bad if you came off them now anyway. as for the weightloss im afraid i had to be the one who has loaded on weight not lost it so am no help whatsoever with that side of things-sorry!
it will get better.

Hi ruth

I had a rough time on them when I started and it did go on for some while. i lost a lot of weight quickly but that levelled out and i soon put it back on again. what I find with them, is that I spend a lot of time staring into the middle distance and am a bit emotionally detached. But, they did stop the severe anxiety and pa's for which I'm grateful.

Hope you feel better soon,
