How are the side effects for you?  I just started on prozac on Monday and have felt horrible since.  I've been nauseous (sp?), jittery, no appetite, dull headache and super tired since.  I actually POAS today becaues I was convinced I may be pregnant from the symptoms I was having!  Are these normal side effects that go away as your body gets used to the medication?  Do you think the dosage is too high?  Am I just going to have to deal??  My doctor put me on 20mg to start and wants me to meet with a therapist who will decide if thats the right dosage/med for me.  I'm thinking of calling her on Monday to see if it can be changed before then though.  TIA!

    I also am on 20mg of Prozac and have only had loose stool. I was however on zoloft a week first so the transition can be easier. I would call your pharmacy if you dont want to wait till monday but Im sure they are normal. Make sure you eat with it. Stick it out tho because I have a week of zoloft in me followed by 5 days Prozac and its day and night now!! And the lack of food is probably anxiety related which the medicine takes a little longer to help with anxiety. Just stick it out girl. GL
