Hey dude!. Yeah!.!. i used to wake up with anxiety attacks in the middle of the night after my dad died!. Doc put me on 20mg lovan (prozac) same thing!. Have been taking it for a cpl years now!. No side effects, no anxiety!. Very good!. Of course everyone is different!. I'm 32!. Age , gender, your personal situation, your genetics and all that stuff have contributing factors as well!. 20mg is the lowest dose!. I haven't needed to increase mine!. Your gp will be the best one to discuss your personal requirements!. Hope this helps!. : )Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have been taking for almost 2 months but for the majority of that time I was on 10 mg!. For almost 2 weeks I have been on 15 mg!. I am also on Klonipin so it has to tell sometimes which one is helping, but they are helping!. AS far as Prozac goes I notice I can't get as worked up with my anxiety and panic as before!. The side effects have been not so bad since I started on such a low dose, but they have been tiredness, slight bit of anger, blurry vision(not that bad), vivid dreams(not nightmares), and you may feel a little off balance at first, oh and a little bit of a headache and stomach issues(very small)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm on a similar antidepressant, and I'm so glad my doctor suggested it! I was at the point of a nervous breakdown before!.
My mother is on prozac, and has been for around 3 years!. The only side effect was that she put on weight, but this is not a big deal for her as she's always been slim!. I believe she's taking 100mg (or was it 10mg!?) per day!.
Make sure you start on the lowest dose and move up from there, as it can make you feel tired and sick to begin with until your body gets used to it!. Remember, it can take 2 - 4 weeks to work, as it needs to build up in your body, so please don't be disappointed if you don't notice any change straight away!.
Hope this helped, I'm sorry you're feeling down and I hope prozac makes your life a lot better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was on it a few years ago I cant remember the dosage but I was on it for about 6 months and it did help, it took a few weeks to really take effect but it did help in the long term, and I cant remember having any side effects but every person is different!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have been taking 20mg of Prozac for 6 weeks now, the first month was a nightmare!. I was like a zombie all day (I took it in the morning, but have since swapped to the evening)!. I am slowly starting to see an improvement!. I am still excessively tired and most afternoons I have to nap for a few hours, I also have very vivid dreams that are about the most random weird things lolWww@Answer-Health@Com
