Is dizziness and anxiety normal after taking Prozac?
human
I took Prozac for only 5 days due to mild depression. I had a terrible anxiety attack the 5th night. Went to the Dr and they said it was more than likely brought on by the Prozac beings I have never had anxiety before and to quit taking the meds. 24 days later I STILL feel effects of Prozac. Not as bad, they've gotten milder. But I have mild anxiety attacks, nervousness, dizziness, depressed feeling, light headedness. Is this normal to still be experiencing these symptoms from only 5 doses of Prozac?? I've never had such feelings in my life! I'm not in control of my body whatsoever. Please let me know if this is normal and how long until I'm balanced back to myself. Thank you

Hello,Prozac can cause such symptoms initially but not for 24 days. These effects usually wean off in 7-10days. That why prozac is not prescribed in night time.If you still have anxiety, take escitalopram instead or talk to your physician.Thanks.
