    Emmie,

    Prozac is not actually licensed for panic/anxiety disorder in Europe although it is widely precribed for it.

    It is licenced for panic in the US.

    Hi There,

    This is what I have been looking for. I too have started Fluoxatine and really scared. I have only been on it for 4 dasys and have a really bad rash from rist to elbow on both arms. I have really irratible skin but listening to every one I am just scared there are more side effects coming....

    When do I call the doc? I don't really want to change drug cause I am starting to feel better. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? Thanks and good luck to you guys

    Hiya- i think you should give it about 2 weeks and generally the side effects will disappear. If not-go back to the docs and see what they say but it's really good to hear you are starting to feel better. I have been taking the fluoxetine for just over 2 weeks now-im still not 100% sure it's doing anything for me but im sticking with it til i see the doc in a couple of weeks.
    Take care

    Em xxx

    The rash is a symptom of potential hypersensitivety to the medication, please do inform/ see your doctor tomorrow and take his advice of whether you need to stop it or work through it .
