Hey, my doctor warned me about the first few weeks after taking Prozac. She said that during that time my body adapts to the new medicine so side effects are very common, amongst them are depression with suicidal thoughts.
If you are having testing done have them check your cortisol level. Over production of cortisol can make you feel like your body is humming on the inside. And production of cortisol is your body's response to the flight or flight response to danger. I would request testing for cortisol and a complete thyroid panel. It's smart to rule out any physical issues that might be causing your symptoms...Prozac is not a cure all.. But this is my personal perspective I an not a health professional.. Just an old lady still trying to find out what's wrong with her š
I was on it for a couple of months it gave me suicidal thoughts but everyone is different hopefully it actually helps youāŗļø
This happens to me on and off for the last 4 months. Iāve been to the doctor a handful of times and nothing is obviously wrong with me. Maybe they will find something minor in my next blood tests, but thereās nothing catastrophic behind those symptoms š
I started prozac and immediately did well on it but I know it varies for different people, my suggestion would be to give it a week or two and definitely follow up with your therapist/psychiatrist about it
