I am wondering if anyone with experience being on prozac can share if it gets any better in terms of side effects?
I started taking it about 5 days ago, I'm supposed to do one day on, one day off initially.
The reason I'm making this post is because the side effects have been very bad and I've only taken 2 pills...
Nausea, dizziness (especially when I move quickly or get up), headache. Feels like a nasty hangover I've got all the time. And then also, itching. I am way more itchy than usual (I don't have any skin complaints normally.)
I am wondering if I should persist with the pills or stop. The cure is as bad as the depression and I'm not sure which is worse right now. Probably the depression. I am actually feeling an effect already in terms of mood (not sure if that is possible because they are supposed to take a few weeks to work...) But I don't want to stop because I am feeling better in terms of mood. Just ill at the same time.
I'm just looking for some hope that the side effects might get better.
Did anyone have any prozac side effects that were bad in the beginning but went away?
My doctor said the side effects may be bad but some people find they lessen after a few weeks, and she wants to see me again in 3 weeks to review how it's going. I am self employed and finding it hard to work while I'm feeling so hungover for want of a better word.
