first time on Prozac. Is this typical?

Hi I started Prozac 10mg last week and each day is a different symptom. Is this normal?

day 1--really tired, calm, hard to anger, overall beyond the tiredness--pretty good. Had best night sleep ever.
day 2--same but switched to night time dosage since I was too tired to function. Had best night sleep ever.
day 3--some anxiety in the morning yet caffiene (I have tea in the morning) seems to calm it down. Feeling good. Had best night sleep ever.
day 4--not tired anymore but after 3 hours of taking my pill at night I felt "odd". You can feel something going on in my head but not painful or horrible. Woke up at 2am, racing thoughts, couldn't fall back asleep.
day 5--same more anxiety. Felt very odd, dizzy, felt like my blood pressure was horribly low. Almost went to the ER.
day 6--same w/ the anxiety. Felt very odd, nauseous, felt like I was going to die. Some out of the blue suicidal thoughts as I was going to bed. Fell asleep. Woke up with bad anxiety.

So are these side effects of something new every day pretty normal? I will say compared to Celexa, Prozac is so far pretty tolerable minus the first 3 hours after I take it. I just feel "odd" lately. Nothing horrible but concerning. With Celexa however, I was super nauseous like motion sickness, my head was so painful like it was in a vice, ear ringing/buzzing---absolutely intolerable and that was at a 15mg dose. I am hypersensitive to all drugs so that's why she said try 10mg of Prozac. So far, I think I will stay on 10mg since the side effects are increasing and while not intolerable every day it's getting slightly "odd" where I can't imagine taking a higher dose.

Hi
I know this is a while ago, but how are you now. Did you stay on the Prozac?
I have been on it 8 days and feel very weird.

Just to add. If I didn't have the anxiety part, I will say this has definately made my mood a 100xs better. I don't feel overwhelmed, rollercoaster emotions of depression/all over the place, I actually have patience, and while the jumping out of my skin anxiety I hate, I do have some positive energy to actually go through my day. So I do see some benefit to it.
