fluoxetine (Prozac)

Hi everyone i have just joined and have some concerns about this medication prozac. I have been having extreme anxiety for the past few months so bad it has made me not leave my house and i am having CBT at home. Although i have horrible symptoms everyday they are not all together thank god but it amkes em feel really ill. Ive had tests and i am still in doubt about it is anxiety anyway i felt that i need to do something so i went doctors and they prescribed me citlapram 10mg which made me feel so bad i know you have to give them a chance to kick in but i was on them for about 6 weeks i had to come off i have asked the doctors too prescribe me something else although i was worried about taking another anti-depressant i have started taking it about 6 days ago. On the leaflet i don't see anywhere where it says it is for anxiety infact on the side effects it has anxiety? Today i feel very anxious my right arm feels numb and it is horrible does prozac really work for anxiety it is 20mg thanks Tommy.

yes it really helped my anxiety but my anxiety got worse as a side effect before it got better. Am 6 months on them now and not anxious. Check out the other threads on here. good luck

ok thanks for your help i will make sure i stick to them i have been taking them at night.
