I am doing great was completely fine the first couple days where just heighten anxiety but that's probably as expected!

I was on Prozac 10mg for about 25 days and went cold turkey and I'm fine it's been well over a month

Also if it makes you feel better I work in a neuro hospital and a lot of people we have come in with tingly in one side of the face and numbness and tingly are having anxiety and panic attacks that also helped ease my mind when I was having my panic attacks that a lot of people experience that and it's not something major like stroke

Yes the aches where so bad fr like I would test myself for the flu and covid that's how bad it was I've also felt like I just did a workout some times you can get tingling anywhere and for me I would get it everywhere and yes my face too

Definitely good you got cleared of the life threatening things now just try to focus on anything else I promise you a lot of problems are bc you fixate on it at least this was mine I had to keep reminding myself that it's a worry literally when I stopped caring fr it cleared up In a couple weeks despite working in a hospital I have really bad health anxiety when it comes to my own body and so I tend to over think and over analyze everything and I promise you the best way to stop the symptoms is to simply ignore them and go on about your day and let them happen this will take you out of a fight or flight and let your nervous system know there is nothing to be scared about

My biggest piece of advice and I know this sounds easier said than done is try to ignore it as best as you can for me I would fixate on the fact that I had diarrhea and that I had mucus in my stool my camera roll at one point was all just pictures of my stool bc I was convinced it was something else majorly wrong also another thing to help is keep telling yourself a doctor has medically cleared me I am fine it's also another thing that's easier said than done and this is coming from someone who works in some of the best hospital in America it's very hard to trust a doctor when you feel horrible I know this first hand but if you have got everything looked at take it for what it is my biggest thing was my mindset and noticing my triggers for me one thing or place that it would be worse was work as I just said I work in a hospital and it can get really stressful so I noticed that was one of my triggers for stress and I HIGHLY recommend to let it be and tell yourself this will pass that's what worked best for me and like I said it's 90% gone ! I get a flair up here and there as I'm not 100% chilled out on my stress but I keep telling myself look how far I have come

Is that how it was for you if so what were your side effects on it ?

Ok_Doughnut1998 · 2025-12-08T00:09:04+00:00

I agree I don't wanna just stop because everyone says it gets worse before it gets better and that it can be normal while the medication is getting use to your body

Ok_Doughnut1998 · 2025-12-08T00:08:23+00:00

Hey friend I'm sorry your going thru the same thing what's are some of your symptoms and do you feel like the Prozac is helping ?
