I’ve only been taking Prozac for 5 days now and have been experiencing alot of anxiety and have had 2 painc attacks 2day-proper ones. So i was wondering if after the medicine has started to work properly this will go away or will i have to take something seperate for my anxiety???- Im hoping i wont.

Serious answers from people who suffer from anxiety and dipression please.

What would happen if a caucasian male, 42 years of age, 6ft 200 1bs took some prozac that expired in April 2002? Would there be a neutral affect in the sense that he would not feel any different then if he had not taken it, would it help him, or would it hurt him? Would it depend if he had other substances in his body?

Hi,

I have been taking Prozac for 11 months now, and have gained 10 kg. This is really bothering me, but otherwise I feel good and I think I am ready to stop.

Have anyone had a similar experience with SSRIs? If so, how long did it take you to drop weight after stopping?

I recently learned through allergy tests that I have allergies to 58 different environmental things as well as a food allergy to hazelnuts. The doc recommended allergy shots which I am currently researching, but in the meantime prescribed Clarinex, Nasonex (steroid nasal spray) and Pataday (allergy eye drops) to take daily.

I am weighing pros and cons. I realize immunotherapy isn’t 100% effective. I’m also aware going that route will involve a long term commitment to getting allergy shots on (at a minimum) a weekly basis. What are the drawbacks of being on allergy meds for years? Won’t steroid nasal sprays cause some funky side effects?
I should add that since being on these allergy meds, I have been enjoying the best spring of my entire life. I smelled Easter lilies for the first time this month, and have finally learned what cut grass smells like. It’s also the first spring I’ve not had a sinus infection. The meds do work for me.
