Hi jeepers, I suffer generalised anxiety and so spoke to GP who prescribed Prozac 20mg which I have never tried. I was reluctant to try them to be honest. I am on a break from my HRT at the moment as have been having lots of stomach issues.
Three days in on the Prozac I had the most awful strange "do" last night, thought was having a heart attack! I got indigestion pain (which I do get if I eat the wrong things so know what that is and am on Omeprazole for that) and then tingles all through my body up to arms and neck, had 2 panic poos, felt really sick, jittery, couldn't stop blowing my nose and yawning! Walked round the house trying to stay calm!
I have some Jan De Vries Emergency flower essence so took three lots of that along with some Gaviscon and after a couple of hours went to bed. I managed to sleep all night and still felt a bit jittery this morning. So I have decided to stop taking the Prozac, as I am sure it was a panic attack which I have never had before.
I am not too bad today, just feel a bit tired, but can't cope with those side effects thank very much! They also made me feel dizzy and spaced out! Am sure they are helpful for some people, but am not willing to risk feeling so strange again.
I hope you get some help with your issues and I understand its awful when the anxiety grabs you unawares
