I started on 20 mg Prozac (every other day) last Thurs. OMG, I feel HORRIBLE. Especially today. So dizzy, naseaus, extremely weak, very tired (but not sleeping very much @ all).....it's awful. I also have hot flashes, wake up in a cold sweat (ugh) & a very clenched jaw.

I'm interested in anyone else's experiences on Prozac. Positive experiences? Negative? What were your side effects (if any)? Did they go away? Did you find Prozac helpful? How long did it take to kick in? I was on it in '98 or '99 for a bit, but only remember feeling really tired on it.

I'm very hopeless b/c I've had severe depression for 24 yrs now (since I was a child); I've tried over a dozen different meds and nothing really seems to help. I'm really ready to give up.
