"I'm 51 and have always had severe anxiety and mild agoraphobia from time to time. Doctor gave me 20mg 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 no being in hospital."

"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 of 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 thats 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."
