I'm also on my first week. I've been keeping a journal. The whole thing with the energy, I had a panic attack because I felt like I was going crazy because I had so much energy and nothing to do. I've also had trouble sleeping, I sleep for like an hour at a time and then wake up for a while then go back to sleep for another hour and then wake up. I also always feel super hungry but then I eat like 2 bites and then my stomach hurts, so I have to force myself to eat more. I'm glad you're making these videos because it gives me something to relate to and I don't feel so alone.
Katie dear! Thanks so much for your comment. I've got two more updates uploaded and I hope with our similar first week experiences you can look at them and take some comfort knowing there's calmness afoot :) I'm now on my 6th week however my terrible wifi has only allowed 3 uploads as of yet. Stick with it if it's not too debilitating. Stay away from negative people and situations in this time as much as you can and focus on getting through the first 4 weeks. Please keep me updated on how you're getting on. We are 100% not alone!
Katie Scott prozac increase seratonin level which is excitatory hormone, therefore makes you energized and awake. It makes you happy but it will take a while till insomnia goes away
I just started today. Took a midday nap. I'm hoping I get great results over time. Side note: You look so much like Tom Hardy in this clip and it's killing me in the best way 😂😂😂
I just want to say thanks. I’ve been struggling for a number of years with depression. I started on fluoxetine about a year ago. As you know I’m sure, sometimes you just feel like shit and you absolutely nailed it as to how you feel at the beginning and it makes me feel better as a person to know that someone is going through the same thing as me. So thank you very much for sharing your experience, it’s much appreciated.
Yeah i totally agree with you, he seems to hit the spot.I've just been prescribed Fluoxetine to help with body image issues and waiting on some therapy starting, i thought id do a bit of research before starting. How you finding it?
Thanks for commenting man and sorry for the late reply. Been locked out my account and finally got the energy to pursue getting access to it again. How you getting on? It's a fucking journey right? Honestly sometimes you just feel like it's more of a headache starting on any kind of medicine with the ups and downs of it all. Total rollercoaster but if you can hang in there I'm sure it's worth it (still trying to hang in)
@@boyneedstherapy6688 hey mate yeah im on fluoxetine now. I had originally just started on the 1 a day but doctors upped it to as i felt nothing. Since that ive felt really weird, like my body isnt really here
I was the same at the doctors, and it felt so strange to finally say it out loud and talk to someone. I’m in the early days of taking these meds and not feeling great but I’m hopeful it will get better
Just started today. I was just looking up something about it, and found this video. Gonna watch these in order. Thanks for sharing this a few years ago.
Day 4 for me and I'm having the same side effects but I'm having stomach pains and chest pain today , haven't had any hallucinations though hopefully things will improve I really appreciate this video It's the fourth one I watched and they all came across as scripted with your story it's real and I really appreciate this information
I remember shooting this and being petrified and looking back at the edit thinking "this is boring and doesn't have that thing that other RUclips videos have". Now I look at it and think "while it is definitely boring at least it's authentic" so I really appreciate this comment! Some people don't suffer side effects too bad so fingers crossed you're one of them. Keep me updated though please :)
@@boyneedstherapy6688 Day 8 the side effects have subsided considerably but Day 7 consisted of extreme paranoia and anxiety which only lasted that say I still get nausea from time to time but my mood has gotten worse and better it's still fluctuating but I'm feeling the change with my speach and my body language paranoia and anxiety is still there and is effecting that some times I tend to zone out of conversations some times I'm glad you made this video honestly it was never boring you don't have to structure something entertaining that's supposed to be educational I enjoyed this video I'm now going to move onto week two's video because having your weekly videos in place will really help me and it probably has helped everyone else showing your support here too Hope things are good :)
Eh theres random waves of happiness or feeling like a zombie at times, but It has helped me focus a bit more, thus making me more productive! But the side effects of nausea or stomach aches do persist at times :/
Javier Guerrero Stick with it my man. It will likely get worse before it gets better but my symptoms have pretty much all but gone now so just waiting to see the more permanent baseline effect it'll have on me. You might be in for some crazy vivid dreams soon though which is kind of cool :)
Im glad its going well for you! I hope it does with me as well! and the dreams seem interesting, haven't gotten any yet but well see! Overall I look forward for more videos from you!! Subbed :)
i have tried 3 SSRI's including Fluroxitine and another type of medication but they all make me so ill, i hope it works out for you though, i know everyone is different and i'm glad you took that first step :)
I started like you feeling like i didn't need help and now I'm here taking the same medication as you and even though these videos are old now i still want to know what im in for🤔
I've just been prescribed these - your video is informative and will be watching the series - but i'm nervous of the side effects because i need focus and concentration in my work and i don't need to lose that more than i am already because of my motivation/anxieties
Hey how have you found your levels of concentration since taking the medication? For me I've never had much of an attention span and honestly didn't feel any measurable difference minus some bursts of energy that made it uncomfortable to sit at peace. Let me know how you've found the meds so far.
I decided i'm not taking it .... Spent a week watching / reading / listening to a lot of sources and in the end decided i need to tackle this a different way In the end the packet warnings were a big one "Caution - Your driving reactions may be impaired" For me that was a massive NO .... i have to drive at 6am when just out of bed .... it's tiring as it is and i don't wanna end up in an accident cos i zigged when i should have zagged... I'm getting assessed on Thursday for some different talking therapy and i'm going to try a couple other things in the mean time.
Jamie Wallis Sounds like the sensible choice. I felt insanely drunk in the mornings. Wishing you all the luck! Would love to hear how you get on with therapy.
I had regular counselling but that just ended up spending 5 weeks dancing in circles .... i've been told by many other sufferers that CBT is a much better direction and can target specific things that are blocking my own progress.... which i do have 2 or 3 anxieties about certain things.... so gonna try that.
Day 3, I woke up vomitting.... And have nausea since starting. No energy. I literally go.uo couldn't stand.. went on my couch. Rapid heart rate... Couldn't go into work. Called the boss to tell her. I am not well. I hope these side effects pass
I've got a 4-week prescription. Today is day 4. Have been feeling quite nauseous, almost threw up yesterday. Also had trouble sleeping, I couldn't sleep till 3am. I think my anxiety disorder got worse, hence I got a few random panic attacks and they drove me crazy. I also feel insanely awful, I think I'm even more depressed? Idk, I just don't have energy to study or exercise. Hope the side effects will get better after week 1.
I’m on day 9 and am feeling the same. I’ve heard it takes a few weeks to kick in and get better but I don’t know if it’s worth feel like absolute trash :( have you improved?
@@rachieface66 it got better gradually after about a week. I just used it in 1 month and then stopped cuz i didnt wanna rely on it. My condition now is pretty confusing. Most of the time i feel normal, like my old self b4 the depression, but when im in my depressive episodes, it gets way worse than b4. I fall into depressive mode and wanna unalive myself more quickly. However, i think i can cope with that. And plz dont do the same thing as me. Keep trying and trying, tho life pretty sucks but sometimes it is worth the try. If u dont mind, i would love see your weekly update.
It gets "better" since im not under much pressure or stress, but it is still there. Someone told me we cant really cure it, we just make it less painful and find our own coping mechanisms.
@@inin7925 I’ll try to remember to keep you updated, I’m actually meeting with my psych tomorrow to tell her about my side effects, she may want to make some changes. Im taking Prozac for anxiety, I have pretty bad ocd and sometimes extreme stress puts me into derealization episodes that are just so uncomfortable to live in. I’ve heard SSRIs treat ocd pretty well and im hoping the Prozac will help mine and get me out of this episode. It helps my sister a lot but so far my side effects have been worse than hers :/ im just so exhausted and not feeling myself at all. Scared to sleep bc of the night sweats and shaking
So I’m almost 2 weeks in on the Prozac and I’ve been sleep a lot better, and I wake up feeling really good too, but an hour or so after I take the Prozac I get very lightheaded and start to feel very out of it and disassociated. It’s weird bc I do feel like some of my derealization from my anxiety has improved but then I feel so lightheaded and out of it it’s like a different kind of derealization. I’ve heard it takes 4-6 weeks to fully adjust so I’m hopeful that this dissociative feeling and lightheaded feeling will go away too, we’ll see. I’m meeting with my psych on Tuesday so I’ll give her an update and see what she says about it. I’m almost halfway through my 30 day prescription. In addition to feeling lightheaded I feel like I’m sensitive to lights, but Idk know if that just comes with being lightheaded/having headaches all the time
I've done a week too. You are talking like me. Loosing your thread, not getting your words out. This is like looking in the mirror right now. Thankyou for sharing xxx
I’m on my 4th week of Prozac and my side effects have been jaw tightness/grinding my teeth/ intrusive thoughts of suicide/hurting myself (which I have never really had before so it’s really quite scary)...I’m wondering if they’re going to work.
Hey Ruth. Wow. This is an overwhelmingly common experience as far as what I've gathered from accounts online. If those suicidal thoughts are creeping in to the point where either they'll manifest in a physical way or lay a mental foundation of anxiety which could result in the same outcome... immediately contact your doctor. When these thoughts appear it's really not worth risking "riding it out". For some it's a temporary side effect but it's not worth the risk. Let me know how you're doing please.
I'm a week into my Prozac journey.My side effects have been extreme anxiety,insomnia,nausea,and vivid dreams.I also have the weird peripheral imagery going on.I see shadows and movements that make me feel like I'm going crazy.I'm sticking with it but it's really overwhelming at times.Thanks.
For sure the peripheral hallucinations can be pretty disconcerting. How you getting on going into your third week? I had pretty much leveled out by that point with all side effects still remaining but very muted. Night sweats still persisiting though, forgot to mention them in the other vids!
BOYNEEDS THERAPY The side effects have went pretty much went away.I'm now dealing with morning headaches and slight anxiety but all in all things are pretty good.Thanks for asking.Are you still taking the Prozac?
That's good and a similar timeframe to me in terms of side effects subsiding. Still on it yeah, missed a couple of days where I just flat out forgot to take it but the fall off and on of it isn't too much of a big deal I read so think I'm still on track for some positive results soon!
Just wanted to give you an update to how I was feeling.Experiencing dizziness,clumsy,and strange mentally.Regardless of these side effects that seem like they're getting worse I'm sticking with it.Hope all is well on your end.I'll be in touch...
Thanks for the update! 3 weeks in is that right? At the end of my third week the side effects levelled out for me minus night sweats. How many MG you taking a day? If you're on a higher dosage your side effects might be more acute and longer lasting than mine. Hope they subside soon though so you can focus more on implementing a healthy routine for when they properly kick in. Keep me posted and wishing you all the best!
Day 3 for me and I just feel dizzy and super sleepy I also felt nausea during day 3. I'm just hoping the happiness 😊 happens soon because I've been so anxious and negative 🙃
I'm 3 weeks in I feel so defeated. I feel more positive but I still dont feel "right". I keep waking up at like 4am seeing the dark like "string"??? And my ears are ringing? Did u get this side effect? X
@@Aucelo I still have it but I've more got used to it. Are you on any meds? I've been put on prozac in think that's what affected my sight and hearing to be honest xx
I’ve been on it for 2 days now. I don’t think I’ve noticed any severe symptoms but I do feel tiredness and my anxiety levels seem a bit higher. Sometimes I feel like I’m going a little crazy but then I don’t.. hmm
I think from my experience on different strengths and different prescriptions, there's literally no way to quantify the effects. I've had serious side effects then no substantial improvement on my mental health. Then had no side effects with some medications with objective and clear improvements. Have you noticed anything at this point? Any improvements?
I have severe loss of appetite, sweeping anxiety that flew across my whole body, barage of negative thoughts [ worried abt my future,feeling of inferiority etc],loss of interest in work. I already had previous experience with this drug. And so I decided I will not take the drug. Take these drugs when u are in emergency or ur situation is grave or else consult a good therapist. And that's what had helped me in a long run.
Yeap day 5 here stomach pain anxiety and diarrhea did you get better? Did it help you, are the side effects worth it cos I feel even worst than before I start
Your me and im you, l stopped a month ago for the same reasons you mentioned, it hasn't worked..lm going back to the gp this week, its difficult to accept that you need meds everyday..such. Is life, brave man great and very helpful vlog..out 0.310 am 😶
Hello, I just started taking fluoxetine it's only been 2 days and I think I already have the sweating side effect is that normal this quick ?? Usually it happens at night. Also will this drug make me gain weight because that's a side effect I am terrified of.
JohnnyThe9th ! Hey mate sorry for the late reply. Hope your night sweats have subsided! I lost a great deal of weight on fluoxetine which I honestly found weird as I felt I'd been eating the same amount as I was eating prior to the medication. So for me personally weight gain was a total non issue. How you getting on in your second week?
I started taking it 4 days ago and i've only noticed better sleep. Past that I feel like I can think a little more clearly and I have been eating more too. So irdk
I'm on my second week almost on fluoxetine 20mg daily, and for a couple days now I have the worst migraine I have ever experienced. And trouble sleeping after midnight for some reason :s Anyone else experienced these head aches? And know how to ease it thanks..
Hi all i am dew to start talking them but i have a quick question please what's the best time to take them i dnt want to feel sleepy as i have a toddler to look after please any advice xx
Iv been on them 2 years at first i couldnt sit still i felt the need to do things like walk alot! Zero appetite soon goes then everythings better o i used to wake up in the night aswell wanting to go for a run haha 😂 the only down side i feel is every time i get a different brand i get a migraine
Where are your update videos, that you said you were ganna do? Alot of people do a week of update and stop, you said it yourself in this video. is it because they are lazy, or are the side effects unbearable? Or is it because nothing happens on these tablets, please let us know how you are doing, are you feeling better? Any new side effects? Thanks
Jayjay F Hey! The updates have already been filmed and edited but my wifi keeps cutting off at home so struggling to upload. Got the second week up though and third fourth and fifth will hopefully go up this week :)
They've sort of levelled out about now, I pick up my second prescription (another 6 weeks) this week. I can't say they've made much of a difference to my baseline mood level yet but going to stick with it!
Totally! It's what she gave me and when I called up to see where I was to pick up my next prescription she was like "Oh do you want to keep taking it?" I was like "Nah I'm just on it for the side effects lol" :/
Sadly depression isn't that simple, I've been in great shape, great diet, and I can safely say it's not that simple. I do agree that a healthy body aids in a healthy mind but sadly it's not necessarily going to fix enough problems for someone to consider themselves fixed and for someone to get to the point of finally admitting they need help and seeking said help they sadly are probably in need of therapy and/or medication
I'm also on my first week. I've been keeping a journal. The whole thing with the energy, I had a panic attack because I felt like I was going crazy because I had so much energy and nothing to do. I've also had trouble sleeping, I sleep for like an hour at a time and then wake up for a while then go back to sleep for another hour and then wake up. I also always feel super hungry but then I eat like 2 bites and then my stomach hurts, so I have to force myself to eat more. I'm glad you're making these videos because it gives me something to relate to and I don't feel so alone.

cattarina blogs and games how's it going?
Wow! I experienced that same placebo effect as well, thought it strange. Great video! 😄
Fair play to you for taking a step in helping yourself. I hope things work out for you. Its not easy that's for sure but keep strong
I was the same at the doctors, and it felt so strange to finally say it out loud and talk to someone. I’m in the early days of taking these meds and not feeling great but I’m hopeful it will get better
Can tell how difficult it is for you. Stay strong. I was on it for a number of months/years from 2014 stopped and back on them as of today.
Bobby W thanks brother. How are you finding coming back on them. Do you feel having been on them before has better prepared you for jumping back in?
I was on them for 4 years in my early twenties just got back on them again at 33 looking forward to getting back on track

@@Aucelo I still have it but I've more got used to it. Are you on any meds? I've been put on prozac in think that's what affected my sight and hearing to be honest xx
What about gaining weight? Please answer because I'm getting on this medicine. 🙏
Day 1: I had the sweating and sore throat/stuffed nose side effects.
starting mine tomorrow. cheers for the videos.
How is it?
I’ve been on it for 2 days now. I don’t think I’ve noticed any severe symptoms but I do feel tiredness and my anxiety levels seem a bit higher. Sometimes I feel like I’m going a little crazy but then I don’t.. hmm
I think from my experience on different strengths and different prescriptions, there's literally no way to quantify the effects. I've had serious side effects then no substantial improvement on my mental health. Then had no side effects with some medications with objective and clear improvements. Have you noticed anything at this point? Any improvements?
hi. great help mate. didnt know what was going on with bodie acking all over. and seeing things. thought was just me,, helped a lot, thanks
I am on Fluoxetine for 2 days. Nausea
I have severe loss of appetite, sweeping anxiety that flew across my whole body, barage of negative thoughts [ worried abt my future,feeling of inferiority etc],loss of interest in work.
I already had previous experience with this drug. And so I decided I will not take the drug.
Take these drugs when u are in emergency or ur situation is grave or else consult a good therapist. And that's what had helped me in a long run.
Man my first night on Prozac and this is exactly how my body feels
Pepmins how are you now? Has it helped?
Yeap day 5 here stomach pain anxiety and diarrhea did you get better? Did it help you, are the side effects worth it cos I feel even worst than before I start
Your me and im you, l stopped a month ago for the same reasons you mentioned, it hasn't worked..lm going back to the gp this week, its difficult to accept that you need meds everyday..such. Is life, brave man great and very helpful vlog..out 0.310 am 😶
Hey, how are you now? I took fluoxetine for 4 days and I'm worried it caused me permanent tinnitus in one ear. Did you get anything like that?
I’m on my first week now. Having similar side effects :) especially the pent up energy
Yes. I don't know where to burn the energy
I hope things got better❤
Hello, I just started taking fluoxetine it's only been 2 days and I think I already have the sweating side effect is that normal this quick ?? Usually it happens at night. Also will this drug make me gain weight because that's a side effect I am terrified of.
JohnnyThe9th ! Hey mate sorry for the late reply. Hope your night sweats have subsided! I lost a great deal of weight on fluoxetine which I honestly found weird as I felt I'd been eating the same amount as I was eating prior to the medication. So for me personally weight gain was a total non issue. How you getting on in your second week?
I started taking it 4 days ago and i've only noticed better sleep. Past that I feel like I can think a little more clearly and I have been eating more too. So irdk
I just started a few days ago and this shit gives me the worse headache ever. I’m trying to work through it though...
I'm on my second week almost on fluoxetine 20mg daily, and for a couple days now I have the worst migraine I have ever experienced. And trouble sleeping after midnight for some reason :s
Anyone else experienced these head aches? And know how to ease it thanks..

Where are your update videos, that you said you were ganna do? Alot of people do a week of update and stop, you said it yourself in this video. is it because they are lazy, or are the side effects unbearable? Or is it because nothing happens on these tablets, please let us know how you are doing, are you feeling better? Any new side effects? Thanks
Jayjay F Hey! The updates have already been filmed and edited but my wifi keeps cutting off at home so struggling to upload. Got the second week up though and third fourth and fifth will hopefully go up this week :)
Liam Bradley thanks for the reply,
are u feeling better on them?
They've sort of levelled out about now, I pick up my second prescription (another 6 weeks) this week. I can't say they've made much of a difference to my baseline mood level yet but going to stick with it!
How long you been on them? Is it helping?
Day 2 for me I'm kinda nervous lol
Day 2...😬I’m nervous
How are u now ?😭 even tho this was 3 yrs ago .
I can relate, i just been given this medication
Please let me know if icauses weight gain that is why I am afraid to take it x
TheRosemariesuz for some people like me it decreases ur appetite drastically which is the only thing I don’t like about taking anti depressants.
@@masteryaya6500 Which ones do you take - thank you for taking the time to get back to me
TheRosemariesuz I take standard 20 mg fluoxetine. I’m a little over 2 weeks in and my appetite is starting to come back.
@@masteryaya6500 Thank you I want to start taking them but am terrified of weight gain x
Taking my first dose in 1 1/2 hours. Help.
How did it go ? i know it's been a year but im starting on the 14th. Scared :(
@@softsurvesoph615 how did it go for you
@@chelzyramirez3663 it went amazing :) I'm the happiest I've ever been to be honest
why would you only get a 6 week script? It takes 6 weeks to hit its full effect
Totally! It's what she gave me and when I called up to see where I was to pick up my next prescription she was like "Oh do you want to keep taking it?" I was like "Nah I'm just on it for the side effects lol" :/
Hey I'm the same as u
I just started on it today
17 and I'm taking this shit
thanks for this
My wife made me mental I'll. though she had also IED or biopolar but never accepted. And I had IED also and I am planning on taking Prozac
A videos Channel & News I hope the best for you and I’ll pray too

WEEK 1 ?? it’s so early

Sounds like a bipolar hypomanic episode?
Prozac very dangerous tablets don't use a lot of side affects
Horrible side effects 😂
Yawn.....
bro pump iorn its way better then this
stop being ignorant
its some friendly advice..my friend
Sadly depression isn't that simple, I've been in great shape, great diet, and I can safely say it's not that simple. I do agree that a healthy body aids in a healthy mind but sadly it's not necessarily going to fix enough problems for someone to consider themselves fixed and for someone to get to the point of finally admitting they need help and seeking said help they sadly are probably in need of therapy and/or medication
actually exercise can help, it's not 'the' answer but i generally feel better if I do
Prozac very dangerous tablets don't use a lot of side affects
