In reply to Starting Prozac tomorrow, posted by Bonnie_CA on May 11, 2006, at 0:43:37
Day 3... I'm having mild withdrawals from the Effexor (tremors and mild shocks), and I have no appetite. However, I'll eat whatever is put in front of me, I just can't decide what I want. Then, I get all freaked out because I feel so yucky. I don't think there's enough Prozac in my system yet, so it's minor hell so far. I've taken a little Xanax every now and then to help take the edge off, and I've slept a lot. I've had weird vivid dreams, where I wake up wondering if it really happened. My husband has been really great and supportive. Well that's all so far.
- Bonnie> I just can't take the Effexor anymore. I get headaches a lot that persist, and I feel like I'm out of my head most of the time. So my pdoc gave me Prozac, and I will start in the morning. He said I shouldn't have to taper off of Effexor. I hope he's right! I'm supposed to start with 10mg and then after 6 days go on 20mg. I was reading another post in here and other people say that 20mg was too high. I'll keep everyone posted on how that is going. - Bonnie
