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 :)

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

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

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
