Hi there
I have been struggling with anxiety and depression and went on prozac- the initial activation gave me heaps of nervous energy and I struggled with insomnia and after 3 weeks quit- had the worst panic attacks and felt awful. Anyway to cut a long story short I decided to go back on it. After heaps of research I found that prozac increases cortisol levels initially in the body and then I found out that fish oil blunts the effect of cortisol in the body and by golly I use the two together THANK GOODNESS it works beautifully- I feel awake, alert and energetic from the prozac but am calm and anxiety free from the fish oil- ALSO have done this for 2 days in a row and slept for the first time ALL the way through the night with no drugs for the first time in 7 weeks. Found a study showing 81% of patients remitted from depression with a fish oil and prozac combination as oppose to 51% in prozac alone group, so looking forward to getting life back on track
