Experiences with anti-depressant side effects?

I had the really crazy dreams. I hate prozac.

my experience was the opposite, i was on a couple different types of antidepressants (including prozac at one point) and i just felt overly tired and sluggish all the time. 12 hour sleep cycles, etc. apparently feeling sleepy is pretty common, i dunno about anxiety attacks though, so i'd definitely bring it up to your doctor next time you see them, they'll probably be willing to switch you to a different medication.

this are all pretty average side effects. almost all of them have them in the warnings (mine even includes "uncontrollable bowel movements"). i get pretty bad jitters, talk rapidly a lot, and typically sleep in 2-3 hour cycles 3 or so times with gaps between them.

i think it's worth talking to your doctor about, but it's worth considering how it affects you and if you've tried other meds and this one otherwise works for you. chances are you might swap and it'll do the same thing and you might get meds that won't. i would definitely talk to your doctor because they might be able to adjust the dosage. if it otherwise works be really adamant about it.

good luck, man.

if you've been taking it a month, it's safe to say it's not for you. try a different one t b h

also 40 mg is a high dose, which is why you're getting the side effects. talk with your doctor to get it lowered or get on a different one. some antidepressants just work for some people, while others don't. ask for a different one

5-6 weeks is plenty of time to let it work

Yeah, it's like I feel tired/sluggish throughout the day yet at the same time I can't fucking sleep. Never had problems with sleep before. Feels bad man

Yeah, I know it's usually 2-4 weeks for it to take effect...sometimes longer. I started on 20mg and increased to 40mg. I don't know, I just wonder if I should ride it out a little longer before I switch to another AD. I know it's a trial and error thing. I've taken Zoloft in the past and couldn't cum...so far the Prozac doesn't affect me like this, thank fuck...
