Prozac advice?!
Question: Hi there,
Just ended first week on prozac, was looking for other peoples experiences. Im on 20mg a day
So far so good, whenever i get angry i get giggily which is amusing
However i started to feel quiet drunk - i dont drink and for good reson i dont really enjoy it - talk junk and out of control with out alchol and then day 5 - 7 i have had earache, extreme nasea and very dizzy - sleeping on and off - does this disapear?

Check with your pharmacist to be sure, but it sounds like early side effects, which usually go away in 2-3 weeks, although may reoccur with each dose increase.
When I was on Prozac and Luvox (another drug in the same category), I had nausea, fatigue, headache for about 2 weeks in the beginning and with each dose increase, although toward the end, they would raise the dose and I wouldn't be as sick as long.

Hmm.. Don't really know what to tell you about the way you're feeling. I was on Prozac for a while for depression and anxiety and it didn't do a damn thing for me so they took me off and put me on something else.
I think the giggling when angry may just be in your head, especially since you were only on it for one week. With SSI's like Prozac, it can take up to 4 weeks before you start to notice anything.
Prozac has worked wonders for me.
