Mind playin Tricks

[Wackypack38]

I just started taking prozac two weeks ago.  I feel like I am losing my mind!  I can be in bed tryin to sleep and one hour later I wake up with this overwhelming feeling.  I feel like I am going to die.  It feels like my heart is going to stop and then I get this rush of cool sensation all over my body.  I know there are side effects but this is horrible.  I feel worst than I did before.  I was just sad and depressed before, now I feel morbid and I wanna die!  HELP!

Prozac may be OK for you given more time to help?Better see whoever prescribed it & ask for their advice..Lots more meds to try are available. Hopefully you'll soon find one that helps. All drugs have side effects ~ some worse than others. Your symptoms are by no means unique when you start on meds. Pointless to tell anyone 'not to worry', anyone that gives you that as an answer needs reminding that you are worried & such advice is worse than useless.Good luck, hope you feel better soon.

I think you need to go back to your doctor and discuss this,it could be this will pass when your body gets more used to it,it could also mean you need to try something else.Good luck! Lily

This may just be your body adjusting to the medication, but it normally doesn't last quite this long.  Regardless, call your prescribing doctor and let him know how you are feeling, he wants and needs to know.  It may be that the Prozac isn't the medication for you as it is often trial in error in finding the right one. Take care and keep us posted!
