I’m on prozac, it works differently for everyone. I am perfectly fine on it and even better than before. Though I have generalized anxiety disorder so my brain may work a bit differently. We tried this back when I was 7 years old and on liquid prozac, it helped then, and I went back on it about a year and a half ago. I would say be cautious, it is a black label and can be dangerous.
@randochikn i will! thank you sm 💞

I am on it and it was a game changer! Definitely talk to your doctor if you’re nervous about it there are similar options

@Macoroni02 thank you! honestly if this doesn’t fit with me i might try paxil next
Prozac worked amazingly for my mom, and mother in law, and ex-partner, and worked really really terribly on me. It's different for absolutely everybody unfortunately. I was on Celexa for a while and it was great but the withdrawal sucked when I quit.
@SmileySnail i haven’t had the best history with SSRIs so i hope this one isn’t as bad haha. any withdrawals are sucky im sorry you had to go through it :(
Any Wellbutrin withdrawals? Im 4.5 days off. Not on Prozac but on Celexa. Start low and go slow.
@Believeinyoself unfortunately yes. seizures have stopped which was the priority lol but so far i’ve been/experienced: more lightheaded and dizzy more pelvic pain (also could be bc i just had an unexpected cycle) shakiness and tremors and chills more fatigued less motivation an even smaller appetite and the best of all, more depressed with my other associated emotions/diagnoses lol <3 i knew going off from 450mg would be tough, but it’s definitely different than SSRIs. luckily have not had brain zaps :)
@Kashmir01 ugh! I hope they all resolve soon! Im coming off 150xl - some anxiety today on day 4.5……praying this is it. Side effects going on….side effects coming off and in your case seizures too! So crazy!
On it.
It is highly addictive. I know someone one it.
I was on Prozac for maybe about 3 months. It gave me extreme vertigo for 3 weeks straight along with hypersensitivity, nausea and vivid dreams. It made me very miserable but hopefully if you try it it won’t affect you the same way. I’m on Wellbutrin now and i have none of the symptoms i had while i was on Prozac.
@Scout._.t trust me if i could stay on wellbutrin i would! it was the best antidepressant for me as well 🥲
My husband was on it and it made things worse for him, but it could work for you
@Jasmine81120 oof okay well i will keep an eye on it! thank you!
Unfortunately I've only ever heard bad things about it😐 so I opted not to try it when the doctor told me to try it.
@princessbun lol i am starting to see a trend here. i hate how antidepressants just interact with my chronic illnesses so much :/
