Subj: Hit a wall
Date: 9/6/2009
Three weeks ago the doctor increased my prozac from 20 to 40 mg daily. I had been on the 20mg for 15 years and doing fine, but then hit a wall. This past week I have been increasingly anxious and jittery. Is this just another period of adjustment? Will it go away within a reasonable time? Please advise.

Subj: Suicidal thoughts
Date: 11/22/2009
I took Prozac for 3 days and had suicidal thoughts and felt like I was going crazy! I also had no appetite, dry mouth, and headaches. I DO NOT recommend Prozac. I would recommend Lexapro which I took for 3 years with NO side effects and NO withdrawals. I am going back on Lexapro ASAP!

Subj: Thoughts of suicide
Date: 11/30/2009
I got prescribed 20mg prozac for postpartum depression. The first 4 days I felt good except for the migraine and tention in my jaw and shoulders. On the 5th day still with the head ache I started to feel weird. Thoughts of suicide which I have never considered before. Then day 6 I was like a zombie all day, I had a couple really bad panic attacks while driving, I didn't even think to eat anything and that night I started hallucinating, twitching, my pupils were dialated, my mouth was really dry no matter how much water I was drinking. My whole body was shaking, I thought I was going to die. Pretty sure it was serotonin syndrome. I felt like I was on a bad acid trip. I never want to feel like that again. I'm not sure what to do, try something else?? I am so scared! I guess it affects different people in different ways.

Subj: I never felt this way before taking prozac
Date: 12/17/2009
A year ago my wife left me and I fell into depression so I went to my doctor and told him about what was going on. He gave me 20 mg of prozac and I took it for three weeks in my third week of taking it I started acting crazy was having thoughts of killing myself and people or just attacking people because I thought they hated me or was talking about me. Well I knew something was wrong because I never wanted to kill myself before or hurt anyone outside of defending myself. Well it just went down hill from there I ran to the hospital and told them that the pills was making me crazy and they sent me to a mental heath hospital in Ohio and my hole life came un done from that point on. The doctor comes into my room and as he is playing on his iphone he asked me what was going on I told him I'm acting different and I never acted this way before. He then took me off the prozac told me I was bioplar and put me on geodon. That med made me crazy worse then the prozac. I'm off everything now and have been for about 5 months and I'm able to live my life but I'm still having some problems with depression and really angry that my wife will not talk to me but I'm seeing a new doctor now and she thinks I'm bipolar to but I don't know what to think I never felt this way before the prozac and geodon. God I just wish it all away.
