I really like watching you diaries. They do help me keep calm as regards side effects since I've been on Prozac for 2 weeks now and I'm experiencing undesirable things. So thank you very much for sharing your experience! Hope you're doing great 💛

I love your diaries. I like to listen to you. I personally don't have anything myself but I am learning a lot. I'll see you throughout your videos.

I’m terrified of being high because of a bad experience. But I start Prozac tomorrow. This high feeling you’re talking about has me extremely anxious

I think the videos are useful. I also think it's important for people to keep in mind what our goals were when we first got on the medication. I don't know if you are seeing a psychiatrist or regular PCP / GP, but psychiatrists in my experience try to add on a lot of medications that may not align with our original goals. I also wonder if you've considered taking the "once a week" prozac pill. I have heard the experiences can differ. In my experience, Prozac is very mild in comparison with Seroquel, Haldol, Remeron, or Ativan. I'd also be interested in knowing what are your goals - both short and long term. Are you planning on using antidepressants for the rest of your life or is this just to get through a rough patch? There is a phenomenon called "prozac poop out" where eventually the Prozac stops working in some people and an increase in dose or medication change is warranted. Also, getting off these medications can be challenging for some people. I know that because prozac is a longer acting drug (as opposed to Xanax / Ativan or remeron which are shorter acting agents) that people seem to not have as many withdrawal symptoms because it remains in your body longer and tapers naturally - it also takes longer for it to start working, as opposed to the other drugs I mentioned which are faster acting agents. If you are planning to get off it ever, I hope you make videos showing that experience as well. Also are you using any other substances like weed etc? I hear some people have had success with marijuana for anxiety. Thank you and good luck and good health!

Man, I can finally relate with someone

Along with my Prozac 20mg in the morning, my Psych nurse has me on a dose of Seroquel at bedtime & it gives me a good nights sleep. You may want to ask your provider about the sleep problems. I appreciate you sharing your experience's with your Prozac treatment .

I’ve been on prozac since 2017 , and as you will see I’ve commented on most of the prozac videos on KZfaq , the side effects were bad for me , couldn’t eat couldn’t sleep , tingling , restlessness , dizziness , dry mouth , sickness those side effects did go but took ages and I don’t think it has helped much

Thanks mate!

Great video I’m on day 9 when do this meds kick in

Im 3 months in now and symptoms are the same as yours, normally times where i would have flipped out im just like whatever. Anxiety has almost completely gone. However the depression itself which is what it was meant to treat isnt really improving because the things that bothered me before enough to atleast try and deal with then, i now just ignore them which means the problem gets bigger and bigger. Restlessness in the morning took about 2 months to go away for me. If i go to bed in a good mood ill wake up about 4am wide awake and wont get back to sleep, i still wake up super early and dont sleep well at all but atleast the restlessness has subsided. Overall the positives definitely outweight the negatives. I dont want to kill myself anymore which is always a plus lol. Not sleeping well at night and being tired all day is the one side effect that hasnt subsided after 3 months. I used to not even be able to pull myself put of bed until midday some days and even spend days in bed. So waking up at 4am wide awake is strangely a welcome side effect

Thanks handsome 😊

Completed my second week of Prozac , morning nightmares and insomnia are my difficulties. Hopefully by the end of week 3 or 4 , I will be better. Are you still on Prozac and how things are going with you.

in a car?

What's your dose
