First Day On Prozac - Anxiety Seems Worse
Updated
K Says:
Hello all. I took my first Prozac pill about 2 hours ago and about an hour ago I started feeling extremely anxious - noticeably worse than my normal level of anxiety. Is this common at all?

Hello, K! How are you doing?
Yes, that can happen when you first start one of these types of medications, things can actually get worse for awhile, before they get better.
I take it to help with perimenopause symptoms and when I first started it or whenever the dosage was changed, I found things to be a bit rough for the first 2 to 3 weeks.
Learn more Prozac details here.
It may also cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, loss of appetite and weight loss.
If it gets very severe or if you start having suicidal thoughts, please contact your doctor immediately.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
