I have loss of appetite, insomnia, loss of sex drive and headaches, which mind you are all side effects of the drug.

As if that does anyone good, haha, is anyone else on it? And has bad side effects as well.

Also what should I do? Haha, because I don't want to take it any more, but you cant suddenly stop because it has really bad withdrawal symptoms.

I had side effects from the first time I took it, like it made me feel really sick and dizzy, its been 2 weeks and thats mostly going and it should start to work soon so If you haven't had side effects within the 1st few days in terms of sickness than you are lucky =] thats what my doctor told me anyway

good luck with feeling better =]

Also, if you came off them now, you probably wouldn't need a withdrawal period as you've been on them for a minimal length of time.

If you still care, don't ever let me know

such liberal prescriptions too

But only for the shitty SSRIs.  Because companies finance these doctors' clinics and use them to advertise for Prozac, Zoloft, and Effexor and shit like that.  That's why all psychiatrists' coffee mugs have the name of a different antidepressant.

Honestly, long-term benzodiazepine use in my opinion is the best treatment for depression/anxiety.  They're highly addictive, but then again you could have serious medical problems if you stop taking an SSRI cold turkey as well.  This is controversial to say because I know no one would agree with me, but I'd rather live my entire life on benzos and function normally than live without them and have to deal with my depression.

Other ones you should not try:
-Imipramine: makes you pee and cum blood
-Buspar: gives you an unpleasant light-headed feeling

Tell your doctor that you don't like the unpleasant side effects of Prozac and that you'd like to change it to something else.  If you're lucky, he could give you Xanax or Valium.

Never take more than your presciption: if youve just started on it, im guessing you're on 20mg, which is one tablet.
Take it at roughly the same time every morning for another 2 weeks. If you still feel rough, tell the person who prescribed it and see if they can alter the dose or give you a different drug with less intrusive side effects.
hope this helped.

dont wonder why im not smiling, wonder why you are.

Maybe you were unable to sleep because of another reason? Stress or anxiety? Side effects are different for everyone, so it could be the Prozac I guess

I did find this on a website, dont know if it will be very helpful, but it does say about not being able to sleep.

Patients and their families should watch out for worsening depression or thoughts of suicide. Also watch out for any sudden or severe changes in feelings such as feeling anxious, agitated, panicky, irritable, hostile, aggressive, impulsive, severely restless, overly excited and hyperactive, or not being able to sleep. If this happens, especially at the beginning of treatment or after a change in dose, call your doctor.

I hope you are able to sleep better tonight =]
