My dad is the least depressed person you'll ever meet but he took Prozac for a couple years to treat mild anxiety and trouble sleeping. Apparently it worked incredible to help him sleep better and to not feel as anxious at work. He told me it had no side effects and he was able to get off it within a week with no issues
I wish this dude was my doctor, I could listen to the way he talks for days haha such odd inflections make it truly seem like a personal conversation, or at least sitting in a consultation
I’ve started on Prozac today 20mg, took my first tablet this afternoon and felt nauseous and tired soon after, I couldn’t keep my eyes open, I slept for around 3 hours, had a very clear vivid dream, I need more sleep but I’m wide awake and have been all night, it’s the early hours of the morning now 😵💫 I feel more positive already and hopefully the insomnia will improve over the next few days.
Very insightful information that I wish more psychiatrist were aware of. Regarding the side effects. Especially for young adults until the age of 24. Wow. 🤯 😮 thank you for emphasizing the healthcare aspects/deficiencies it can affect.
Thank you for sharing this information. I was pondering trying fluoxetine again, but now I question if I ever should have been on it in the first place.
I got my Prozac prescription yesterday from my PCP provider the generic brand Fluoxetine HCL 10MG. I just took my first pill today Wednesday August 24th, at 1:25 am since I work from 12am to 8 am. I am going to take it everyday at this time. I already set my alarm on my iphone. I took it without food. I'm crossing my fingers and I am feeling anxious already and feeling scare about how I am going to feel soon. I hope I don't get a panic attack. I'm feeling weird right now but maybe is because I'm feeling very anxious about what feelings and symptoms I am going to experience soon. Prey for me yall. LOL. I'm trying to stay positive!!!
The side effects of getting off prozac can mimic symptomps of depression which where the cause of taking them in the first place - thanks for that info. Now I know at least its a whitdrawl syndrom and not me becoming depressed withoud reason again
I'm lucky in that my psychiatrist is just like this. I've just been prescribed a low dose of Fluoxetine by my GP, and it's a mistake to have taken it. I do very badly on SSRI's. I hadn't seen my psychiatrist in a while but now things have become a mess so I hope he can help me to get off the Fluoxetine safely.
I was on fluoxetine 4 years ago but then it stopped working or my depression got worse. I was switched to wellbutrin, then zoloft, and nothing really made a difference the way fluoxetine did. I just want to know if after a 4 year break if it will help now again for depression and anxiety. I'm living in hell.
Never underestimate the sheer difficulty of ending this drug, and the need to reduce not in a linear fashion but with a hyperbolic reduction. Many people who take the linear reduction approach end up back on it while a reduction progressively reducing into tinier and tinier doses, not easy to do, over months, is the only way that succeeds. I have been on it for two years and I'll let you know how difficult it proves to be! I hate the stuff.
I hear all these people talk about this being great for anxiety/depression but does this work for people who have panic disorder? Can anyone elaborate?
Im going through a breakup after being with her for almost 9 years. Doctor prescribed me Prozac (20mg). I hope it works or helps going through a breakup.
Daniel Gutierrez I feel for you in regard to the loss of your relationship; however, it's not right for doctors to prescribe psychiatric drugs for grief, because it's a perfectly normal part of life and people often end up on them for many years! 🙁

Hello @wellnowdoctor Please tell us a little about Prozac's Pharmacodynamics, specifically the NET transporter or norepinephrine transporter and more specifically if it is true that a higher therapeutic dose makes prozac work more on the NET norepinephrine transporter?. " Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and does not appreciably inhibit norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake at therapeutic doses, Large doses in rats have been shown to induce a significant increase in synaptic norepinephrine and dopamine " is this true? please enlighten us
Is Prozac better for specifically OCD than Paxil? My doctor put me on Paxil but I have not taken it yet. I have Binge Eating Disorder and Paxil’s main side effect is weight gain, so I don’t know what made him decide for me to take Paxil. And I know Paxil doesn’t work for OCD until you reach higher doses. Studies have shown long-term Paxil use is highly correlated to weight gain.
It's more stimulating, that would probably be why. Works well for some and not for others. I use mindfulness, Prozac and my psychology. All the best on your healing journey
Zirtec antihistamines I'd a rash and bought over the counter antihistamine as I currently am prescriptibed 90 mg of fluoxetine I noticed it made me dreadfully Sleepy Is this dangerous 😳
I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for years with anxiety and fear. I went to a doctor who prescribed me the drug Fluoxet. I don’t want to stop I am afraid of the side effects thanks
Did it get better over time? For me it causes hyperactivity followed by crashes, so it helps me to have moderately caffeinated drinks at times of day where I know I’ll need it.
I've been on it for like 2 weeks at 10 mg and I had like 4 good days but for the last two days my anxiety has gotten really bad again. Is this normal and should I expect it to get better?

Im on it right now and thats a normal side effect, especially in the first 6-8 weeks or after increasing a dose. Id definitely ask your doctor though, especially if youre uncomfortable, dehydrated, or it gets worse or doesn't get better within 2 months. Don't stop without asking your doctor or believe people who try to scare you into stopping.
I started it 3 weeks ago for severe anxiety and it hasn’t kicked in yet. The anxiety is considerably worse which I know is the side effect it can give in the beginning. How long did it take many of you for it to finally work and kick in? I don’t want to raise my dose of 20 mg because I’m experiencing a lot of hair loss and sexual side effects. Thanks.
I’ve taken Paxil most of my life and it has worked well for me. Came off painfully but I need to go back on something. Should I return to Paxil or try Prozac?
@@DanaDayz tried it for a couple weeks but it didn’t seem to be doing anything for the severe anxiety. I’ve gone back on Paxil and after almost 2 months I’m almost back to my normal state again.

It's one of the five elements that make up the drug. It has been on the market for the longest of all SSRI's. If it were harmful, it would have come to light by now. The safety and tolerability profile of Prozac is high.
Yes. It also carries a suicide warning for people under the age of 24. Read the manufacturer data sheet. Read survivor testimonials. This drug can kill you when used as prescribed , like the doctor says. I know someone who started vomiting and defecating blood after a few months on prozac. She said it felt like her whole GI tract was on fire, from throat, through stomach, down to the end of the colon. This stuff is poison, check out all the adverse effect reports. good luck.
@@forestdenizen6497 Maybe your friend was a lying mental patient? It's not a poison. It actually causes neurogenesis, the growth and development of brain cells.
@@randomfullywonderful it is fucking harmful you do realise the companies that make these drugs pay out millions to keep families and victims “quiet” they have caused homicides, psychosis and suicide in people that never had those problems before these drugs are fucking life ruining poisons.
He seems to really focus on how it doesn't work for depression. That is true, but what he doesn't get much into is how SSRI's are proving better for anxiety than depression (their original intent). He seems very anti-SSRI, which is misleading to those who could benefit from SSRIs for anxiety.
ME! I got switched. I'm on day 3 of Prozac. How is it going so far? Zoloft got me sooo fat after taking it for maybe 3 days , I started eating like a fucking fat pig😤😅FOR REAL!!!! that shit was insane . I vented to my doctor to the extreme , letting out all my feelings without holding back because I got issues , she switched me FINALLY TO Prozac... Starting me off with 10mg for a week, then 20mg after .not sure why other people start with 20mg automatically tho🤔
A nurse practitioner prescribed it to me a few years ago, I went to jail because I started hallosinating around the wrong people and spent over 2 months in solitary confinement trying to come back to reality. & I'm still trying to recover from it all.

Derm, and now deceased....
Is it true it has fluoride in it?
It's one of the five elements that make up the drug. It has been on the market for the longest of all SSRI's.
If it were harmful, it would have come to light by now. The safety and tolerability profile of Prozac is high.
Yes.
It also carries a suicide warning for people under the age of 24.
Read the manufacturer data sheet.
Read survivor testimonials.
This drug can kill you when used as prescribed , like the doctor says.
I know someone who started vomiting and defecating blood after a few months on prozac. She said it felt like her whole GI tract was on fire, from throat, through stomach, down to the end of the colon.
This stuff is poison, check out all the adverse effect reports. good luck.
@@forestdenizen6497 Maybe your friend was a lying mental patient? It's not a poison. It actually causes neurogenesis, the growth and development of brain cells.
@@randomfullywonderful it is fucking harmful you do realise the companies that make these drugs pay out millions to keep families and victims “quiet” they have caused homicides, psychosis and suicide in people that never had those problems before these drugs are fucking life ruining poisons.
@@randomfullywonderful No! Absolutely not!
He seems to really focus on how it doesn't work for depression. That is true, but what he doesn't get much into is how SSRI's are proving better for anxiety than depression (their original intent). He seems very anti-SSRI, which is misleading to those who could benefit from SSRIs for anxiety.
Are they rly good for anxiety? Any links of studies or something where they tell?! Thanks
Moral of the story, anything can happen
Right, after all this info, I now have even more anxiety...fuck better not take any of them...
Anyone switched from Zoloft to Prozac
ME! I got switched.
I'm on day 3 of Prozac.
How is it going so far?
Zoloft got me sooo fat after taking it for maybe 3 days , I started eating like a fucking fat pig😤😅FOR REAL!!!! that shit was insane . I vented to my doctor to the extreme , letting out all my feelings without holding back because I got issues , she switched me FINALLY TO Prozac... Starting me off with 10mg for a week, then 20mg after .not sure why other people start with 20mg automatically tho🤔
@@blazineyezasian____ so you were only on it three days or longer ?
Yes!
@@blazineyezasian____ i started with 2.5 mg and went up to 10mg. I just switched to zoloft but prefer prozac.
Zoloft 100mg gave me bad diarrhoea for 4 months one of the symptoms of serotonin syndrome but was on a high dose. Now on 20mg Prozac all fixed up ...
This medication ruined my life
May I ask why
A nurse practitioner prescribed it to me a few years ago, I went to jail because I started hallosinating around the wrong people and spent over 2 months in solitary confinement trying to come back to reality. & I'm still trying to recover from it all.
Very nice talk very useful
Just got the 20mg
Same, how’s it going so far?
@@Vill1anArk stopped taking them they were making me feel worse
@@Jay-uo1sn your doctor will claim that you did not give it a chance to work (they say it can take up to 6 weeks to work.)
@@forestdenizen6497 yeah im still not taking them. I don't get panic attacks anymore probably it was a passerby thing
@@Jay-uo1sn They always do at first. Most people who stick with it realise it is worth pushing through the difficult first few weeks.
I just started taking Prozac has anyone gained weight from taking it?
That’s what I would like to know as well.
Yes it makes you crave carbs
I lost weight
I lost weight it reduced my appetite
I feel like he doesn’t swallow his spit
This guy talks funny, his mouth moves like it’s really trying to move
Prozac sucked for me
This Doctor Is Salty Towards SSRIs. 😂
Lol the way he moves his lips while talking is so distracting hahah lolll so weird
Haha
Keep of the drugs!!! all you need is a good Physiologist! depression are 'demon' thoughts unrecognized, remember, we are humans, all we need are the right tools! talking any problem out with a professional is the only way! Your diet is a major part also!
wish I didn't start after watching this
You mean a good therapist
Easier said than done
Some people also need help with medication and there’s nothing wrong with that, it can really save some people’s lives 🌸🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸
That's not the case for everyone... it could save a life!! Salad and fruits won't boost serotonin as fast.
It ain't even worth fooling with. Poison..
You’re not ok
@@johnlemma401Ok wise guy, please elaborate how it's not a poison?
@@Kalley_Kavia it saved my life. I had the worst depression imaginable and I couldn’t even get out of my bed until my family forced me to see my family doctor. He prescribed me Prozac and it has been life changing. I have the energy to go to my job, I have a normal appetite and I no longer have bad thoughts.
