"i had never taken an antidepressant before. i was recently diagnosed with gastritis and irritable bowel syndrome and have been dealing with many emotional issues for quite a long time before these health problems. the constant nausea from the condition only worsened my mood and outlook on life. i was on prozac 10mg for exactly a month. after 2 weeks i noticed a huge difference in my overall mood and outlook on life, it was wonderful! after 3 1/2 weeks my entire body started to itch; palms of my hands, in between fingers, behind ears, feet, legs, arms, you name it, it itched! finally talked to my doctor and decided to stop prozac and start paxil. i hate that i had to switch, and i&#039;m not too excited about it. hope this time is a charm."
