Anyone with Prozac experience?
I've heard vastly differing things about Prozac. I'm going to be switching onto it over the next couple of weeks and I'm kind of nervous since some people make it sound like a really strong drug with a lot of side effects.
I know every one reacts differently to different drugs, but I guess I just wanted to see what other peoples' experiences with Prozac were. Did you have really strong side effects? Did the side effects last long or go away pretty quickly? Did Prozac help you at all?
For me the side effects went away fairly quickly. I had a bit of heart burn in the mornings for a while, but I found that if I made sure to take it with food it wasn't a problem, and now it's gone away entirely. I am super drowsy though, and my sleep isn't perfectly solid, although it was already a problem for me before prozac, sp I haven't been able to work out if it got much worse. It has been a very mild help for me, and my dose may be increasing in the future because of it, but in general it helps me wrap my head around how I'm feeling to some extent, although it does far more for my anxiety than my depression symptoms,i feel like I'm fighting the latter mostly by myself.
