I have been on this med for along time but it does not help with my anxiety. I wonder if I am getting to used to the prozac. I have to find someone in Behaviorial Medicine.

Kathryn, I'm on prozac also, but I have been on it for about 6 days. I read in panic to power that prozac was suppose to help with anxiety. I sure pray that it helps me. I also have Fibromyalgia. I am hoping that prozac will help with the anxiety and eventually tense muscles. Do you know anyone with fibromyalgia?

Thanks Etta

I take Prozac as well but I've never heard of it used for fibromyalgia, which I too suffer from. My doctor prescribed Lyrica, which I have been taking for about two months. It seems to be working well. I started Prozac back in 1992 and it was incredibly helpful in treating my depression, but my anxiety got worse. Eventually, after upping the dosage on the Prozac, it didn't work any longer and I had to switch to another medication, and another, and so on. Now, I am back on the Prozac and it seems to be working again. I have been told that once you've taken a med for a certain length of time, it is inevitable that it will stop working. I had twelve good years in the past with the Prozac and I am looking forward to finally regaining some of my livelihood this time around.

Hey, I am on Prozac as well for the last 6 weeks, so not too long, but it seems to help a little with my depression, but my anxiety HAS gotten worse I believe. I get almost all the the side effects. I don't know what my doctor will do, but I wanted to share my experience with you too.

i just started prozac about 4 days ago, they say you dont feel affects for atleast 6 weeks, i feel like a zombie on it, no energy, cant even get off the couch. i didnt take it yesterday and i kind of felt myself again, but the tears started again today and i took it and i feel like crap again. is it the med or depression. just got the book lucinda put out and i dont think im depressed, just think my stress got out of control and my anxiety too high. i use klonopin for sleep and just want to go off the prozac and if i get too stressed use my a little klonopin during the day. doc isnt really helpful...
