anxiety and stress
"I was suffering from generalized anxiety disorder with some panic.  It was a miserable situation and although I gutted it out for many years, I finally decided to try meds.  My doctor prescribed Prozac, 10 mg initially.  I'm not going to lie, those first couple of weeks were rough.  It actually made me MORE anxious and pretty jittery. Sleep was not restful. But then just about the time I was going to give up (2-3 weeks into it) and try something else, I started feeling better.  Eventually, I felt a LOT better.  I now take 20 mg/daily and I feel like I got my life back.  I don't think I realized how small my life had become until the anxiety abated.  For someone who can gut out the initial few weeks, it is so worth it."
