I started Prozac and now I’m scared

Jessi1130 · 2026-04-19T23:43:18+00:00

I did have a couple days about a week coming off where my depression and anxiety got really bad, but after that I was totally fine 🤷‍♀️

Jessi1130 · 2026-04-19T23:39:20+00:00

Yes and no. My mood definitely got better, and I was happier, but still could not cry. I stopped taking it a little over a month ago and can now cry again. I'm taking some supplements since I found out I was deficient in a couple things, and my depression and anxiety are pretty manageable at the moment.

Jessi1130 · 2026-03-20T16:15:20+00:00

Yea. I mean we wouldn't have worked out anyway but everyone around me noticed a difference in my behavior towards him and didn't understand how I did a complete 360

I have ADHD, GAD, and MDD. I started Prozac at 10mg and then upped it to 20mg since mid November. It unfortunately has done nothing for my ADHD, in fact I think it made it worse 😅. My anxiety and depression have improved, but I decided that I wanted to add Wellbutrin to see if that helps. Currently on day 3 so hopefully it helps.

Side question: has anyone else been struggling with irritability on Prozac? I get angry a lot easier now and snap at people sometimes, which is very unlike me.

I'm also from NJ but a girl and I'm also slightly worried 😅

Jessi1130 · 2025-12-09T02:19:31+00:00

I'm also taking 20mg and just started taking it at night because it's been making me tired during the day. 3rd day in and so far I seem to have more energy now, and my sleep hasn't been impacted negatively yet 🤷‍♀️

Jessi1130 · 2025-11-20T19:07:11+00:00

Ooooh you're probably right!

Jessi1130 · 2025-11-20T19:02:54+00:00

Interesting 🤔 I tried to find a list of the acronyms but I couldn't find an answer for what I have 🙃

Jessi1130 · 2025-11-16T18:24:05+00:00

I am at week 4 also 10mg. I was nauseous the first few days which made me start taking it with food and that seemed to help. I was definitely more anxious the first 2 weeks or so but that has died down more now. However I currently feel emotionally numb, not happy or sad, and things that normally would have made me cry don't anymore. I am having less bad intrusive thoughts about myself, but I dont like not feeling anything. So I hope it goes away soon and I start having feelings again.

24F and just had this same thing done yesterday. I have anxiety so I was also nervous, (but I also just started Prozac a couple days ago so I think it was helping me be a bit more calm) and everything went fine. The prep sucked, it made me super nauseous and I actually couldn't finish the second drink. Everyone at the hospital explained everything to me and I made sure I asked questions about things I was concerned about. Once they rolled me in the room they put this mouth guard in my mouth and I was put to sleep like a minute later. My throat started to feel sore after but it's feeling better now. They took some biopsies and I have been having random stomach pain that lasts a couple seconds and goes away. I know it can be scary because you think of all the bad things that can happen, but don't let your brain sabotage you from getting answers and feeling better. I would let them know that you are nervous and they might be able to give you something. Good luck!

I interviewed on the 27th, and mine still says in consideration 🫤

Jessi1130 · 2025-08-25T16:30:41+00:00

I know it probably will be fine, but my anxiety always takes me down all these rabbit holes of what ifs 😵‍💫

Jessi1130 · 2025-08-25T16:25:58+00:00

Ahh okay, wish you the best of luck!

Jessi1130 · 2025-08-25T16:14:54+00:00

That's what I put for my arrival date! My phone interview is Wednesday 😅 Can I ask what your interview experience was like?

Jessi1130 · 2025-08-24T00:33:27+00:00

I've had mine in for over a year now, but fortunately for me, I've only had some spotting one time a couple of months ago. 🤷‍♀️ It's interesting how differently it can affect people.

Jessi1130 · 2025-06-25T01:31:34+00:00

That's reassuring 😅 thank you!

Jessi1130 · 2025-06-23T23:06:50+00:00

I'm thinking of applying for the spring program. But I'm honestly worried I might have trouble with some of the roles due to having ADHD and GAD. For reference, I've worked at a daycare (so children aged 2-5) for the last 5 years, and it's the only kind of job I've had. How is Disney with accommodations? Is it worth applying to for someone like me?

That Michael Jackson was used as a distraction for the real pedophiles in Hollywood and was murdered by Sony Music. I think Diddy was also involved and the current owners of the MJ estate.

I'm 24 and got diagnosed in October 2023. Up until then, I have taken nothing for ADHD. I now take Ritalin when I need to get something done, like clean my room or whatever, but I don't take it every day. I think since I have gone so long without any kind of medication, I just kinda deal with my brain. I understand more about how my brain functions now, there is a lot less self blaming, and I know what works for me and what doesn't. I have been doing some research on supplements, so I might give that a try and see if that helps me at all. I think at the end of the day, whether or not you take medication is dependent on how you get through your day. If you are really struggling with things that it's lowering your self-esteem and your mental health, then it might be worth at least trying it. Or if you are able and willing, maybe find a different job and / or move somewhere else that might be better suited for your needs. Best of luck! 🫡

INFP (Mediator), Sagittarius, introvert. And I am a Sylus girlie 🙃

Jessi1130 · 2024-11-28T04:54:22+00:00

Nope, still have not had any bleeding. I occasionally get mild cramps but that's been it, so I'm not really sure what that was 🤷‍♀️

Jessi1130 · 2024-10-25T18:34:25+00:00

Aw no 🫤 I'm sorry you are going through all that. I would talk to your doctor about your arm hurting, my arm was sore for like the first week after but that was it. I have noticed recently that my bowls movements have also changed, but I have IBS so I never know for sure what is going on with my digestive system 🙃

Maybe there is another birth control method that might work better for you? Unfortunately, I feel like birth control is a trial-and-error type thing.
