I'm sorry to hear about your problems, dghboybigboy. It is so incredibly unpleasant to suffer symptoms as you describe.

Obviously, none of here is a doctor, but the symptoms you describe can certainly be the result of bipolar. Unfortunately, taking an antidepressant by itself can be one of the worst things a bipolar sufferer can do. They can definitely cause symptoms of mania.

If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, you should go to the ER immediately, do not pass go, do not collect $200. It will be OK, they know what to do, and they won't think you're crazy. If you don't need to do that tonight, then call your doctor FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. Tell him what you have told us. Ask for a referral to a psychiatrist, and make it clear that it is an emergency. DO NOT stop taking your Prozac without talking to your doctor first. Personally, I would go to the ER if I was feeling the way you describe.

I hope this helps. It's from someone who has been in your shoes. I found Psych Central when I was in much the condition you describe, and my friends here watched over me until I was able to get help. We'll do the same for you, too.

Feel free to PM if you want.
