P......p.........p....pro.....proz.....a...ac......

Man, I woke up this morning and was all shakey and shit. I couldn't speak, think to speak or anything, was just stuttering and speaking really slow (I'm still not quite as good now). I had no co-ordination, hardly enough to make a drink and I kept on having these damn spasms.

So I went to the doc and he did these tests, told me that because I increased my Prozac, I was having side effects.

Does anyone else have effects like this?

What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Im on 20mg a day, its the non-brand version of Prozac.

    And yeah, I just feel bloody knackered all the time, and I kept feeling really queasy. It seems to be working, mind...kinda.

    It matters not who won or lost, but how you place the blame.

    My co-ordination was affected when I was on prozac, and sometimes got nauseous and other stuff but cant really remember now. I didnt really like it as I felt toally disconnected and numb...really weird.
    Im about to go on meds again but hoping itll be something else other than prozac as it did help me but had a lot of unhelpfull side-effects. Oh well cant have it all I guess!

    Bloody Hell, I've just been prescribed Prozac (20mg) and from what U guys have been saying I don't know if it was the best move.

    Does it help?

    Prozac can mess with your CNS (central nervous system) that's why some people get a stutter or other symptoms.

    P.S. I'm nu (2 Prozac), so any extra Info. U guys can share would B appreciated.

    Not that I want to put you off, but I have completely stopped taking mine for the minute. I'll go see my doc sometime and ask him for something better/stronger/ whatever.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I've come off mine too, but that's cos i think i'm ok at the moment. It's ok, as long as you get the dosage right, cos otherwise you go a bit nutty and monged out. Actually, when you first go on it you go a bit monged out anyway - i spent about a week and a half of the summer just staring at a wall!

    Hmm...nice kind doctor gave me 6 months more..yeah..thanks doc.

    I found that the first 2 weeks I was on them, they made me feel almost dead to the world, Lolly put it perfectly a while ago, "numb".
