"I've been on Prozac for about a year now for anxiety/panic disorder. Switching from 30 mg to 40 mg. Currently on 30 mg, it's been working great for me. Only side effects are weight gain, but then again I don't know if it's from that. I do sometimes have a little anxiety here and there, but nothing like before, which was every day. I'd recommend it for someone dealing with anxiety, etc."

"I started Prozac for pain disorder, and the first two days were fine. After those two days, my memory got foggy, and I had insomnia and more anxiety attacks than I usually do, and horrible headaches. It also made me really jittery, so within a week, I stopped taking it. I'm currently still going through the side effects since I only stopped taking it three days ago. Hopefully, this anxiety goes back to being tolerable like it was before I got the meds."

"I felt like this was a good fit for me, the only issue was I got bumps all over my chest and back. I thought it was acne until I went from 20 mgs to 40 mgs. It was horrible acne all over my back, chest, and cheeks. Bad deal. Other than that, I think it was working. Had to stop and go on Lexapro, which works well for me, no bumps."

"I was prescribed this drug for panic disorder and was on it for 2 weeks. I have never felt wise in my entire life. I did not eat or drink unless forced, spiraled into depression, and just was not the excited, loving person I normally am. I would go home and stare at the wall for 5 hours, then crawl into bed and sleep. I had nightmares each night. I felt dead and like I was floating above my body. My friends and teachers became more worried than before. I had to get off that pill."

"Prozac works great for me. It's helped pull me out of my four-year depression. I wished I would have asked for help sooner. Prozac helped me get my 'spark' back again."

"This is the worst prescription medicine for anxiety I’ve ever had. I used it for 6 months, and it made my anxiety way, way worse. I can’t go anywhere anymore, not even leave my house."

"Two weeks in 20 mg Prozac, feel nausea, shaky, weak, and very fragile. I feel constant fight or flight."

"Prozac 40mg reduces the severity of panic attacks. It doesn't get rid of them, but makes them easily manageable. Breathing exercises and talking are now enough to calm down, thanks to this medication."

"I am going to use Prozac. After reading your comments, I have early morning depression called diurnal mood variation. I will start with 10 mg."

"Horrible! I took a 20 mg dosage and had the worst panic attack of my whole life, and it took days to recover. Never had a panic attack so overwhelming and horrible!"
