Prozac

I tried Prozac about 10 years ago for my anxiety problems they just made me feel ill,so I had anxiety plus lots of nasty side effects.Go and talk to your GP you obviously need to try another med.Good Luck

There r several options that I am aware of here. You could upper the Prozac (unless u r already on max dose). You could switch to another antidepressant. Another option (as I've seen in commercials though I do not know how well it works) is adding Abilify to ur current treatment. Contact the doctor & let him/her know that things r not getting any better & you'd like an adjustment to ur treatment. The doctor should be able to adjust ur treatment to ur needs. Let the doctor know everything that is going on so he/she can make the appropriate adjustments. I wish u well & good luck.

Make sure to go to a good psychiatrist & not just a family doctor. Psychiatrists (if it is a good one) know a lot more about the subtleties of the different meds. You may need to up ur dose or add another medication to it.

Be careful though about Paxil & Effexor - they have ***terrible*** withdraw side effects if u ever go off of them. My doctors all acted like I was exaggerating when I went off of the paxil, well now there is a huge class action law suit & many websites dedicated to going off of paxil. I actually hallucinated, was extremely suicidal, sick, & stayed awake for several days. And I was coming off of it slowly, very slowly.

Do not just go off the prozac though. Def. go to the doc. Oh & prozac doesnt have the same terrible withdraw if u stop taking it to take another med. But ask ur doc.

I tried that, did not work for me either. HOWEVER you cant just come straight off it! You need to lower your amount every day you take until it gets to 0. Otherwise you will get withdrawal symptoms

i would strongly advise you to go back to your doctor asap, as you say your temper etc have worsened, prozac is not for you.

prozac can cause suicidal feeling and that is why you must change your medication asap. i do not know how bad your symptoms are of feeling suicidal. but i would defiantly get the meds changed.

im on sertaline and have had virtually no side effects if this helps you!
if i can help you any more just ask

i also have mental health problems m8! when i was little i watched my mum go through the same thing as u r now & belive me it was not nice! i would go back to ur doctor or councillor & ask for different medication or no medication at all! just try a course of counselling, but dont listen to any one that says u can only help ur self cuz i no it a lot harder than that. but yes u can help ur self but no all alone. u should try taking up a hobbie to keep the deamons at bay thats what i did! good luk! xx

Get your doctor to change your medication!!
I was on prozac and had the same side effects.
I was always suicidal, almost more so than before, i had horrible mood swings and i found i was lashing out at the people i loved more and more every day.
I got my doctor to change my medication and after a few adjustments on that medication ive never been happier.
All the best and i hope you feel better soon.

You should come off of it. Studys show that 6/10 people who that people who start an anti-depressiant find that it does not help them. There are many other kinds that will help you, maybe Prozac is not your thing.

Good Luck!

Doctor either needs to adjust your dosage or needs to try you on another anti-depressant
