Struggling with Prozac and Depression

i can’t tell if my prozac is helping or making me more depressed. i used to have severe stomach issues (cyclical vomiting plus fatigue and general nausea) that have mostly subsided, but i have no idea if it’s actually due to starting anxiety medication or not, as my body sorta moves in cycles anyway. i’ve felt pretty depressed recently and just uninterested in talking to anyone, and i have no idea why.

Prozac helped my stomach issues, but it can also definitely affect your mood negatively as well. Talk to your doctor about potentially trying a different dose.
