Just need advice and a chance to vent...

I started taking Prozac (20mg) again a week ago. It's not my first time taking it -- I used to take it for about a year and half three years ago. Because of my history with the med, I wanted to take Prozac and not something else that I wasn't familiar with. But since taking it, I've been feeling nauseous (and that's the reason I decided to go back on meds, hoping that it was a result of my anxiety / depression). I've also had some really crazy, vivid dreams about people and places in my past that I don't really want to think about. My mouth has been really dry. And finally, I've been feeling really depressed since last night. Part of me wants to go back and stay at a psych hospital for a couple of days, a week. But the other part of me knows that I can't. I don't have insurance right now and I owe so much in medical bills -- which is one of the reasons for my ongoing depression. Not making enough money, not having finished college (which was because of my depression).
Anyway, getting back to topic on hand, I don't really mind the side effects. I just don't wanna be depressed. It's only been a week and I know you have to give it four or five weeks before you feel the full effect of the med.
I don't know why I posted this. I guess I just wanted to vent. I guess I just wanted to talk to someone. I have very few friends. I'm very anti social and a hermit. And yet I still just wanted to talk to someone.
