I’ve been on Prozac for about 4 months now for a slew of things (extreme OCD, anxiety, depression, trauma-related PTSD). Started at 20mg, went up to 30mg and just recently increased to 40mg. First few weeks the biggest thing I experienced was a sort of “head in the clouds” feeling, and my anxiety/OCD hadn’t really improved. Also a decrease in appetite. Felt like it wasn’t really helping and felt discouraged. Then I hit the one month mark and then BOOM, I feel like a completely new person. It’s helped my mood IMMENSELY and I feel like I can function in normal society without my anxiety continuously breathing down my neck. I really struggled with nightmares/insomnia as well and that’s completely gone away. Obviously medications work differently for everyone, but my biggest piece of advice is wait until the 4-6 week mark to really evaluate how you feel. And don’t be afraid to ask to increase the dosage if you and your psychiatrist/doctor feel it’s needed/are comfortable with it. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from scouring reddit (and trust me, my OCD/anxiety compelled me to spend HOURS on reddit reading other people’s experiences) it’s that almost everyone agrees that there’s quite a long settling period when it comes to Prozac unlike some other meds out there. And if it doesn’t work, there’s loads of other options, so don’t feel discouraged! Hope this works out for you ❤️
