I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW. I HAVE BEEN TAKING PROZAC SINCE TUESDAY, WHEN I TOOK IT ON WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND TODAY I FELT AS IF NOTHING WAS REAL. THIS ALL STARTED ON WEDNESDAY, BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THURSDAY. WHEN I WALK FROM MY HOUSE TO THE CAR OR TO MY ADOPTED MOM'S HOUSE WHEN I GET THERE, I JUST FEEL THAT I AM IN A MAGAZINE, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. NOTHING SEEMS REAL TO ME. I DON'T SEE MY PDOC UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. I TALKED TO MY NURSE AT HER OFFICE THIS MORNING ABOUT THIS AND SHE JUST TOLD ME TO KEEP TAKING THE PROZAC UNTIL I SEE JOY ON WEDNESDAY, AND TO CALL FOR AN ONCALL NURSE IF I NEED ANYTHING ELSE OR HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE PROZAC OR IF I HAVE ANYMORE PROBLEMS WITH IT. I TOLD HER THAT I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS THINGS NOT SEEMING REAL TO ME ANYMORE. I TOLD HER THAT IT IS REALLY SCARING ME. I'M LOSING REALITY (THAT IS WHAT THE NURSE TOLD ME) I REALLY NEED SOME HELP HERE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Keeptaking the meds. Your body needs time to adjust tothem. Some meds only take days and some takeup to 6 weeks for full effect. It depends on the medication. If you need more information type prozac into google. It'll give you more information. Hope this helps

I agree with Cap, read up about the side effects of the drug. If you are really worried, can you call a hospital and ask for some advice.Also, my pharmacist is very helpful with drug advise. Try not to be alone if you afraid. As Cp said,there is an adjustment period for new drugs and your body so just give them a go if you can. Good luck

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
