I send love to the Prozac (fluoxetine) gods too! Lifted me out of a deep depression three and a half weeks ago. Now I am a little hypomanic but it sure beats depression!

So happy for you. Really hope this lasts for you

I just started fluoxetine 6 days ago. I was prescribed it for severe anxiety and ptsd depression.. The first three days of taking it. I was so restless and couldn't sleep. So I changed my dose time to noon instead of 6 pm. Since I changed the dosage time, I have been dead tired and unable to function. I am hoping this will pass soon. Did any of you deal with this when first starting fluoxetine? I can't wait for the positive effects to start working. I feel like I might need something else as well to address the anxiety... I am new to the whole meds thing as I had been trying to function unmedicated for some time now.

its different for everybody but it didnt even out for me until 3 months. also if you are bipolar i wouldnt use it alone. i tried it (against dr orders) at first and i was two inches from a psychotic episode. I brought back in the seroquel and all was good.
im not sure about prozac for anxiety it made mine worse in the beginning
i have prn klonopin

Prozac turned me into even more of a whack job then I already am. Different strokes for different folks
