Seeking advice on taking Prozac for anxiety and depression

hi guys!! i was prescribed prozac by my doctor in late 2021 to help with anxiety and depression that i’ve been experiencing for a long time. i was put on zoloft in 2015 and it made me feel worse and quite suicidal after taking it for a couple of months so i haven’t been on any depression/anxiety medication since then. i’m scared to take prozac after this experience, i understand that medications affect everyone differently but can anyone who takes/has taken prozac give me some insight on it?? id really appreciate it :)

i was on prozac for years then became too numb on it and switched to prozac. i personally love it because it helps with general anxiety without numbing all of your feelings

it’s different for everyone so just make sure to be self aware how you feel on any type of med

Zoloft made me feel the exact same way/ more anxious than I ever was. Prozac has helped me feel a bit more “normal”
