Felt like I had the flu sunday and monday, chills , bodyaches, headache. I take this in the morning and I have always taken my pills at night so this is a big change for me.

The Nausea seems to come and go all day long still. I;m trying to be strong everyday to get to the next. Any input or experience would be so incredibly appreciated! :)
I don't remember how long it took for the Prozac to work for me, but I definitely noticed a change because I didn't have anxious thoughts nearly as much. It takes the edge off for me, but I had to increase my dosage to 40mg after about 3 months.
Get through another day. Thank you. Thank you thank you!
