I just started prozac 3 days ago (10mg). I am having problems eating now. I get hungry like I should but then when I see or smell food I get nauseated and can't eat. Is this normal? Will it go away? Also I am kinda fuzzyheaded and hard to get motivated I just kind feel here but not here. HELP!!!

Google prozac to find side effects for the medicine. This will help you better understand what the medicine may do to your body. I find that when you start a medicine, side effects can be overwhelming. Usually if you give it time, your body will adjust to the medice and side effects tend to go away. If it becomes problemsome, talk to your doctor. You can always ask your pharmicist questions. It is always best to be informed about what medicines you are taking so you can be aware. Good luck

I take prozac and have for ten yrs. I have tried other meds but found this one to be the best for me. Talk to your DR. for sure. But dont be afraid of how you feel. it takes about 3-6 weeks before you have given any medication a fair chance to help you.I like prozac personally for me and it has been around forever. be patient and talk to your Dr. You are ok.....

When I started Prozac I had some digestive trouble and lightheadness/dizziness. It also made me tired. That sounds like what is happening to you. It took about 3 weeks for it to go away. I haven't had any effects since and feel so much better for taking the Prozac. Just hang in there and see if the side effects go away in a few weeks.
P.S. I graduated from West Texas State (now West Texas A&M) and spent 3 years in Amarillo. Nice to see someone from back home.
