Prozac

Has anyone taking prozac experienced a foggy headed feeling? It started off with dizziness when I was at 10 mg, but now it is more of a feeling like my head is clouded up (recently stated 20mg). Sometimes it is hard to think clearly. I noticed that it is better when it is dark out. Could this be a side effect that is short term? Or could it possibly just be from anxiety showing through?

I have taken Prozac for about 2 years now without any side effects.  If it is really bothersome, put a call into you doctor.  I would doubt that it is your anxiety.  My anxiety has never presented itself that way.  I think it might be the prozac.  I am not a doc though.  Just remember, your doc won't know you are having problems with a med unless you tell him/her. Hang in ther and good luck.  WendyJones

Hi, Prozac is the worst anti-depressant I ever took.  My experience is the opposite of yours.  I was so hyper I ran around crying.  I could not keep still.  I was not dizzy or foggy in the head like you.  I asked to be taken off after 4 weeks as I could not stand it any more.  

Perhaps it does not suit you either.
