Hi friends,

I started taking Generic Prozac one week ago at 10mg once in the morning for GAD, panic disorder, an depression stemming from the two. This is the first time I've taken an SSRI and the first four days where a dream. Now I have absolutely no appetite, nauseated, severe anxiety (pure adrenalin surging through my body...almost like I'm on fire, racing thoughts, chest tightness, you name it) and extremely unsettling dreams. Sometimes I feel like I'm being a baby about it but I always push through it and show up for work (I bartend at a busy bar and its not conducive for a relaxing, low stress time). I want nothing more to feel better as I am just exhausted and over dealing with my disorders. Do these awful side effects subside? I really want to push through and be on them for atleast six weeks. I take 5 mg xanax as needed but that isn't even calming me down. I'm calling my doctor on Monday to discuss side effects. Any input and words of encouragement would be wonderful. And if anybody has expierenced this what helped you? Thanks y'all, I hope everyone is feeling happy and pleasant!!!
