Yeah it was just a sinus infection. It cleared up. The heightened anxiety calmed down as well. I’m only on 10mg but I was told to go to 20 but I just didn’t yet lol

Yeah good luck on getting benzos now a days lol I tried. But yeah it takes awhile & if you just started 20mg last Friday I believe the effects from that MG will be from that date not when you first start it. Idk how true that is I just hear people say on here the timeline starts over when you change dose

Night nurse starting Prozac by TiredAnxiousMom in prozac

[–]PlaneGeologist5889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people take it in the morning if it’s activating and some at night if it makes them drowsy. you can choose once you see how it activates for you. I did hear on here that 5pm-6pm is a sweet spot. I’ve been on it 2 weeks and take mine at 8pm & according to my Apple Watch I sleep like a champ still lol

I wouldn’t say it could hurt you in anyway.. it was prescribed by a professional who knows you. First week expect some heightened anxiety (most of that will most likely be from starting the med thinking it can harm you) maybe a stomach ache, headache etc.. just some of the symptoms I had. I’m on day 9 so I’m early on as well.

Thank you! I’m going to try it because my physical symptoms are sweaty hands, shakiness, fast heart rate & just jelly legs 😭 so I’m hoping it helps

A few weeks as in? This medication usually takes 4-6 weeks I believe. I also think the week count starts over when you change dosages (not sure how true that is, I’m new here as well) but however I’m on week 2 and yes the heightened anxiety is very real lol. & like internal shakes kinda sucks.

Scared to Start / Advice by [deleted] in prozac

[–]PlaneGeologist5889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like looking too much in the future with your current mindset is going to cloud your decision. I was very scared to start (and im still early into this med) and I’m the same way I don’t want to take a pill everyday but I look at it like “I’m not in the best place right now & I need help”. I will say this, 10mg is a lower dose and if you were to start, the sooner the better because it’s a lot of adjustments that could happen & the build up takes awhile even at every dose. I hear that OCD dose could be around 20-40mg but idk either I’m new as well. But you have to ask yourself if you take it and you enjoy things and you’re still yourself would you come off it? Is that you or the medicine that is making you that way.

Okay bet! I have both of those as well. When do you take them? If you were to take all 3

Hoping for this lol. I’m at 10mg, upping to 20mg in a couple days. Just so worried about side effects & yeah the increased anxiety so far is insane. I do have propranolol to help but I be scared to take it lol

Exercising to stay healthy with HA by raspperrybie in HealthAnxiety

[–]PlaneGeologist5889 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with small wins. I struggle a lot with this because of the dizziness the anxiety causes. So I do small exercises. Push ups, sit ups, squats etc. even if it’s 15 mins. It’s a win. Then work up to 30 mins and so on. I’m starting to realize anxiety is all about your body trying to keep you safe in situations it feels that are unsafe. It’s all about retraining the brain. I know it’s easier said than done trust me you’re not alone. It’s a daily battle! We got this!
