Has anyone on here taken Prozac? I just started it about two weeks ago for my anxiety and while my anxiety has gotten better, on the other hand I feel so emotionless😔 It’s been really hard for me to get motivated to do anything, or be happy about life in general. The little things that usually bring me some happiness don’t bring me any joy anymore. I’m usually so motivated to do my schoolwork and get things done but the past few days I haven’t wanted to do anything. Is this normal to feel like this when starting to take Prozac? Please someone tell me this gets better😢
It doesn’t make me angry I used to get really angry before starting this medication but it makes me feel really numb and unemotional it’s so weird. I’m usually a really emotional person too. I’m hoping another medication works for me because if it doesn’t idk what I’m gonna do my anxiety is sooo bad I can’t take it 😞
My friend was just telling me about it but for her it seemed like nothing but positive results & made her a calmer happier person. I was considering it but now I’m seeing more people saying bad than good.
@coffeebean, exactly!! I’ve never tried meds before but my anxiety got really bad recently so I figured why not try it. Not having anxiety for once is amazing but I feel like such a zombie with zero emotion. Idk if medication if worth it if it makes me feel like this.
@babybump21, I feel that girlfriend. Maybe give it a little more time to see if your body adjusts maybe it will situate itself to work balanced. But if not, nothing wrong with asking your doctor to try something else. Maybe it’s just too much for you which is why it shuts down all other emotions.
@coffeebean, yeah I already called my doctor I’m just waiting to hear back from him to see if I should continue or switch since I’m already on the lowest dose possible. But maybe it’s just my body still adjusting to it idk🤷♀️
I took Prozac and absolutely hated it. It made me feel the same way. Ask to see what other options there are for you
I can’t stand this feeling at all, it’s the absolute worst. I was hoping maybe it would get better but it sounds like it’s not going to 😔
My mother in law takes Prozac, she feels exactly this way everyday @babybump21
Yup I have it made me so angry I tried to run my ex over 😂 wish I did but I missed ive had busbar, Prozac, Lexapro , cetralopran, all kinda of crap none of it works 🤷🏼♀️😩
