Prozac jitters

I've been on fluoxetine for a week and feeling jittery, sick and spaced out.

Is this normal? I am taking them for anxiety but currently feeling worse.

Any positive stories of how it improves? Feel like stopping.

Yes it improves. I always have this when starting SSRIs but it always settles down in a couple of weeks

Thanks polkadotpixie that's reassuring, it's my first time and feeling really odd.

Lost my appetite which I guess is a good thing as could do with losing a few lbs
