I'm also on my first week. I've been keeping a journal. The whole thing with the energy, I had a panic attack because I felt like I was going crazy because I had so much energy and nothing to do. I've also had trouble sleeping, I sleep for like an hour at a time and then wake up for a while then go back to sleep for another hour and then wake up. I also always feel super hungry but then I eat like 2 bites and then my stomach hurts, so I have to force myself to eat more. I'm glad you're making these videos because it gives me something to relate to and I don't feel so alone.

Katie dear! Thanks so much for your comment. I've got two more updates uploaded and I hope with our similar first week experiences you can look at them and take some comfort knowing there's calmness afoot :) I'm now on my 6th week however my terrible wifi has only allowed 3 uploads as of yet. Stick with it if it's not too debilitating. Stay away from negative people and situations in this time as much as you can and focus on getting through the first 4 weeks. Please keep me updated on how you're getting on. We are 100% not alone!

I just want to say thanks. I’ve been struggling for a number of years with depression. I started on fluoxetine about a year ago. As you know I’m sure, sometimes you just feel like shit and you absolutely nailed it as to how you feel at the beginning and it makes me feel better as a person to know that someone is going through the same thing as me. So thank you very much for sharing your experience, it’s much appreciated.

Honestly sometimes you just feel like it's more of a headache starting on any kind of medicine with the ups and downs of it all. Total rollercoaster but if you can hang in there I'm sure it's worth it (still trying to hang in)

I've got a 4-week prescription. Today is day 4. Have been feeling quite nauseous, almost threw up yesterday. Also had trouble sleeping, I couldn't sleep till 3am. I think my anxiety disorder got worse, hence I got a few random panic attacks and they drove me crazy. I also feel insanely awful, I think I'm even more depressed? Idk, I just don't have energy to study or exercise. Hope the side effects will get better after week 1.

I’ve heard SSRIs treat ocd pretty well and im hoping the Prozac will help mine and get me out of this episode. It helps my sister a lot but so far my side effects have been worse than hers :/ im just so exhausted and not feeling myself at all. Scared to sleep bc of the night sweats and shaking

So I’m almost 2 weeks in on the Prozac and I’ve been sleep a lot better, and I wake up feeling really good too, but an hour or so after I take the Prozac I get very lightheaded and start to feel very out of it and disassociated. It’s weird bc I do feel like some of my derealization from my anxiety has improved but then I feel so lightheaded and out of it it’s like a different kind of derealization. I’ve heard it takes 4-6 weeks to fully adjust so I’m hopeful that this dissociative feeling and lightheaded feeling will go away too, we’ll see. I’m meeting with my psych on Tuesday so I’ll give her an update and see what she says about it. I’m almost halfway through my 30 day prescription. In addition to feeling lightheaded I feel like I’m sensitive to lights, but Idk know if that just comes with being lightheaded/having headaches all the time

Hey Ruth. Wow. This is an overwhelmingly common experience as far as what I've gathered from accounts online. If those suicidal thoughts are creeping in to the point where either they'll manifest in a physical way or lay a mental foundation of anxiety which could result in the same outcome... immediately contact your doctor. When these thoughts appear it's really not worth risking "riding it out". For some it's a temporary side effect but it's not worth the risk. Let me know how you're doing please.

Sadly depression isn't that simple, I've been in great shape, great diet, and I can safely say it's not that simple. I do agree that a healthy body aids in a healthy mind but sadly it's not necessarily going to fix enough problems for someone to consider themselves fixed and for someone to get to the point of finally admitting they need help and seeking said help they sadly are probably in need of therapy and/or medication

I'm also on my first week. I've been keeping a journal. The whole thing with the energy, I had a panic attack because I felt like I was going crazy because I had so much energy and nothing to do. I've also had trouble sleeping, I sleep for like an hour at a time and then wake up for a while then go back to sleep for another hour and then wake up. I also always feel super hungry but then I eat like 2 bites and then my stomach hurts, so I have to force myself to eat more. I'm glad you're making these videos because it gives me something to relate to and I don't feel so alone.

Katie dear! Thanks so much for your comment. I've got two more updates uploaded and I hope with our similar first week experiences you can look at them and take some comfort knowing there's calmness afoot :) I'm now on my 6th week however my terrible wifi has only allowed 3 uploads as of yet. Stick with it if it's not too debilitating. Stay away from negative people and situations in this time as much as you can and focus on getting through the first 4 weeks. Please keep me updated on how you're getting on. We are 100% not alone!

I just want to say thanks. I’ve been struggling for a number of years with depression. I started on fluoxetine about a year ago. As you know I’m sure, sometimes you just feel like shit and you absolutely nailed it as to how you feel at the beginning and it makes me feel better as a person to know that someone is going through the same thing as me. So thank you very much for sharing your experience, it’s much appreciated.

I think my anxiety disorder got worse, hence I got a few random panic attacks and they drove me crazy. I also feel insanely awful, I think I'm even more depressed?

So I’m almost 2 weeks in on the Prozac and I’ve been sleep a lot better, and I wake up feeling really good too, but an hour or so after I take the Prozac I get very lightheaded and start to feel very out of it and disassociated. It’s weird bc I do feel like some of my derealization from my anxiety has improved but then I feel so lightheaded and out of it it’s like a different kind of derealization. I’ve heard it takes 4-6 weeks to fully adjust so I’m hopeful that this dissociative feeling and lightheaded feeling will go away too, we’ll see. I’m meeting with my psych on Tuesday so I’ll give her an update and see what she says about it. I’m almost halfway through my 30 day prescription. In addition to feeling lightheaded I feel like I’m sensitive to lights, but Idk know if that just comes with being lightheaded/having headaches all the time
Day 3 for me and I just feel dizzy and super sleepy I also felt nausea during day 3. I'm just hoping the happiness 😊 happens soon because I've been so anxious and negative 🙃

And that's what had helped me in a long run.

Hey Ruth. Wow. This is an overwhelmingly common experience as far as what I've gathered from accounts online. If those suicidal thoughts are creeping in to the point where either they'll manifest in a physical way or lay a mental foundation of anxiety which could result in the same outcome... immediately contact your doctor. When these thoughts appear it's really not worth risking "riding it out". For some it's a temporary side effect but it's not worth the risk. Let me know how you're doing please.
