Hi..I started on Prozac 2 weeks ago. first at 10mg then bumped to 20 mg (as prescribed) within a few days of starting. it was suppose to be gradual I guess, stated "as needed" . Well I feel like I am on an emotional rollarcoaster, crying at the drop of a dime, feeling numb inside, shaking, feeling my heartbeat to numerous other feelings. I can't stand it anymore. so I guess I am just wondering what your thoughts are on this, shouldn't this pill be taking some sort of effect. I am so miserable!!!
My doc started me on 10mg, upped me to 20mg after 2 weeks, after 4 more weeks I'm on 30mg.
When I first got on them, mood swing central, upped them to 20mg, ditto on mood swings. I was upped to 30mg last week, you guessed it... mood swings. I'm up & down faster than a rapid cycling bipolar.
