Fluoxetine....

[Elizabeth-24]

Hi everybody....


i been taking Fluoxetine (Prozac) for 2 days now, and i was wondering if its normal to feel anxiety and short of breath my chest even feels real tight it feels like its about to cut my air, i guess you can say it feels like im going to have an attack. Did anybody had this experience befor?
If so can you please tell me if this is normal? and if its going to go away?
Should i keep on taking it?

P.S. By the way im taking 20mg, im sopposed to take it for 7 days, and then increase it to 40mg a day.

hi Elizabeth

I started taking the same medication 2 weeks ago. the first week for me was really tough and made all the symptoms worse. my second week has been great :) only had today feeling slightly panicy but this was due to being overtired.

stick with it and good luck

Hi

I have been on the same medication for 2 weeks now, the first week i felt awful, worse than i was. More tight chest, nervous, more anxiety etc.

But that only lasted the first week since then i have seen a great inprovement in myself.

Hi Liz, as Tony says can take 2weeks to kick in, have known it to take longer but stick with it can make such a difference.
Good Luck and hang in there. John
