prozak............?

Question

im taking prozak and its making me feel really weird its only the second day but i feel really weird, tired, and out of it... is anyone else taking this? is it normal?

Answer 1

Hopefully they started you out at 10mg and not 20mg for the first week.... If not and if it is a daily pill ( not the time released weekly prozac ) then cut it in half and take it that way for a few days before going up to the full dose. Usually side effects die down in about 2 weeks.

Answer 2

I took Prozac many years ago and had every possible side effect imaginable for the first month. It seemed like every few days one side effect would ease up but a new one would surface. Eventually most went away. It is a good medication but I eventually switched to a newer SSRI with less side effects. I felt the benefits of Prozac within days and took it for almost two years. The biggest problems were the sexual side effects (inability to orgasm) and a general flatness of emotion. In other words, it definitely eased the depression, but it also limited my ability to truly experience joyful emotions. At the time, it was worth it, but eventually newer meds came on the market with less side effects so I switched. It was quite effective though.

Answer 3

It could have to do with how you are feeling at the time you take it.
I took Prozac for a while. I did fine if I dosed myself while I was relaxed. If I took a pill while I was stressed, my throat would get tight and it would be difficult for me to breathe for a while.
Everyone experiences things differently, so try taking it during a time of the day that you are feeling relaxed and see if that makes a difference.

Answer 4

it will do this to begin with but as your body adjusts this will wear off it can take up to 4 wks, if you find that you are still feeling this way and it's affecting you to the point where you cant function normally see your doctor and they may rview your medication.
