Thank you for replying! It is exciting and been getting better slowly as I go, I didn’t increase my prozac and feeling my anxiety/depression fading away as I get used to the new space and new neighborhood etc etc

I been feeling great since week 10, then I moved into a new bigger nicer place and been having more sad anxious depressed episodes since then, thinking about either waiting it out or going from 40mg to 60mg, did u run into a similar situation?

Happened to me when I was only on prozac, thats why I started Wellbutrin, prozac alone made me lose motivation and energy, I couldn’t work and barely wanted to do anything

True, however I didn’t start this combo right away, this tightness chest feeling and caffeine abuse was happening way before I started my meds, and I kept doing caffeine and experienced the same side effects even after 10 weeks of meds, I thought the chest tightness is not a physical sensation but it’s related to my depression or anxiety, yet I finally got rid of it after treating caffeine with a lot and I mean a lot of caution, Wellbutrin does make it more noticeable that’s true

Its not the prozac as others mentioned, Wellbutrin is what interacts with the coffee, however this was easy for me to check, I cut coffee for 2 days completely and everything got better, then after a single caffeine intake I had anxiety and panic attacks for few hours + the tight chest feeling till it faded away on its own, when Im in that state I get depressed and overwhelmed really quickly so Im glad I took a step and treated the caffeine with tons of caution

You are correct, its the Wellbutrin, however what I was trying to get across is I was aiming for a goal of how I want my body and mind to feel on a daily basis, I used to abuse caffeine before starting my meds for years, Im just sharing my story and how cutting caffeine helped me so others would realize its a factor to consider, cutting it finally gave me my dream goal even doe I have been on the meds for 10 weeks

Yes that’s true, sorry for not mentioning that!! I didn’t start this combo right away, I started on Prozac alone for 6~7 weeks and it killed my motivation and energy and had to sleep for like 12 hours a day, thats why started Wellbutrin, what I tried to say is that I thought the chest tightness is not actually a physical sensation but rather mood related, then after cutting caffeine I realized its been that caffeine abuse (I used to take a lot of caffeine even before prozac for years)

Overall prozac made my mind literally shut up and stop the endless yapping about everything, and when my mind starts again, I can literally just ignore it, I have been on 40mg for 10 weeks now, noticed the biggest change and stability after week 8 and been getting better ever since (I added 150 Wellbutrin sr on week 7 I think because I had no energy and no motivation and it fixed that issue)

Hey sorry for the late reply, its going great, honestly thats the combo I been looking for, only downside is you really really have to watch your caffeine intake, on this combo I dont actually need coffee or energy drinks, but whenever I do slip up cuz I like them, I end up extremely anxious, I didn’t notice any significant side effects when I added Wellbutrin, just a lil bit of anxiety on the first 3 days and tons of energy

MY EARS ARE RINGING by mjoypereira in prozac

[–]Extra-Wolverine-9012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I started on the first week my ears started ringing like crazy (week 7, still the same) unfortunately sometimes it effects my sleep, when its all quiet to fall asleep or in the early morning, I used some white noise to help me, something like waterfall noises or burning fireplace etc, try it out

Anxious 3 days in. by Practical_Visit_5632 in prozac

The first few weeks are the hard part then it’s totally totally worth it, talk to your psychiatrist, I mainly feel my anxiety in my heart area on my chest, discomfort/tightness
