"I started prozac for pain disorder and the first two days were fine and after those two days my memory got foggy and I had insomnia and more anxiety attacks then I usually do and horrible headaches. It also made me really jittery so within a week I stopped taking it. I'm currently still going through the side effects since I only stopped taking it 3 days ago. Hopefully this anxiety goes back to being tolerable like it was before I got the meds."

"I felt like this was a good fit for me the only issue was I got bumps all over my chest and back. I thought it was acne until I went from 20lbs to 40mgs. It was horrible acne all over my back chest cheeks. Bad deal. Other than that I think it was working. Had to stop and go on lexapro which works well for me no bumps."

"Prozac works great for me. It's helped pull me out of my 4 year depression. I wished I would have asked for help sooner. Prozac helped me get my "spark" back again."

"Prozac 40mg reduces the severity of panic attacks. It doesn't get rid of them, but makes them easily manageable. Breathing exercises and talking are now enough to calm down, thanks to this medication."

"I’ve been on Prozac for about a year now for anxiety/ panic disorder. Switching through 30 mg to 40mg. Currently on 30 mg it’s been working great for me. Only side effects are weight gain but then again I don’t know if it’s from that. I do sometimes have little anxiety here and there but nothing like before which was everyday. I’d recommend it for someone dealing with anxiety etc."
