sorry to be acting so paranoid, but my pdoc prescribed me wellbutrin and after reading about its potential to lower the seizure threshold i decided i was too scared to take it. so i asked if i could have prozac instead and my pdoc made a casual comment about how all ssri's have the potential to cause seizures due to the fact that they alter one's brain chemistry. i realise he was just trying to inform me but that what he said has sent my anxiety raging thru the roof. i have now been on prozac 10mg for 5 days and my questions are: a) i realise that the chances of having a seizure are incredibly low, but if hypothetically i was going to, would it be a reaction that occurs close towards the initiation of the drug? and b) if i am feeling so manically obsessive about a side effect, is that a sign that the drug isn't really working anyway? or can it become more calming at higher doses? (i am meant to go up to 20mg in 2 or so days)
