I too, had a terrible time with Prozac. I took it for seven days. On the seventh day, I all of a sudden started to feel agitated. I felt like I was loosing control. I felt like I was going to do harm to the other people in my house and asked my husband to tie me to a chair. (he didn't) but I felt like I needed to be! I took some xanax, drank wine, just to get it under some kind of control. It just coming at me, in waves. It was one of the worse days of my life. There must be some kind of stimulant in Prozac. I had been on paxil up to about a 1 1/2 ago and only went off of it because of the weight issue. I get a little depressed a here and there and seemed to be worrying all of the time so I wanted to go back on Paxil may just the 10mg. The Doctor swore by prozac and said it will help with the weight issue and was easier to get off of it.

I am still having slight panic attacks in the mornings and this is my third morning not taking the prozac. I get the cold chill through my body and then my palms sweat terribly. I am fear that I am going to start feeling that way again and it is just making me a mess! It was very comforting to read some of these posts. I was feeling pretty alone with this. The doctor gave me 10mg paxil.
