Hello was prescribed Prozac last week and took it for four days but i started to feel really out of it and my legs felt really weird and heavy and i lost my appetite..does anyone know is this 'normal' and should i continue on the tablets until they start working? any advice would be appreciated. I stopped taking them but am wondering if i should start up again...

it is best if you go back to your GP straight away as what you describe appear to be common side effects. it can take several weeks or more to get used to these pills but as I cannot comment further, you do really need to get back to your doc for further advice

as misi said best to continue and speak with your GP. I also take them and yes, they do take away my huge appetite.

I take them, they definatley dont take away my appetite, but i do remember not eating and getting hot sweats and lucid dreams for about 3 weeks as well as a very sureal not really here felling. talk to gp but there are many side effects for the first coup,le of weeks, thewy soon pass.

Dear all thanks for your messages i think four days probably wasn't enough time so have started taking them again...hopefully onwards and upwards even if it does take a few weeks...

Give them 10 days to start working effectively.
