"I have been struggling with anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and agoraphobia all my life. I used to vomit before school every morning, I had severe panic attacks, headaches, and lots more, and they turned to agoraphobia in my 30s. I fainted several times and became scared of driving or being out. I have been on Prozac on and off. I tried other medicines, but this one was the best. I always put on lots of weight when I am on antidepressants, so it makes me discontinue. This time I am going to stick on Prozac. The first weeks, the side effects are bad, but you start feeling better. I am still agoraphobic when I go out on my own, that's why I want to do neurofeedback. But comparing to what I used to feel before Prozac, I am feeling so much better. You will be a new person, I promise! Just stick to your medication and get as much support as you can. Keep yourself busy, stay positive. Search for anxiety support pages online. Little steps, little steps... tomorrow is a better day."

"I'm 51 and have always had severe anxiety and mild agoraphobia from time to time. The doctor gave me 20 mg of fluoxetine, and I'm on day 6 and feel so bad. I can't go out, and my anxiety has hit the roof, and I have lost 6 lbs in weight in 7 days!!! I can't swallow food or drink, or even my saliva, without feeling panic as my throat just goes so tight. I hope this Prozac works."

"Fluoxetine saved my life. Had been suffering from bulimia, OCD, anxiety, and depression for years. I got prescribed this medication and felt better after 2 weeks of treatment. This medication does negatively affect the ability to orgasm and empathize at times, but well worth the positives of not being in the hospital."
