I have been taking 20mg of Prozac for about 3 months now. At this point, I am unsure if it's making my anxiety worse or better.
My phobia/fear is of vomiting... Vomiting in public, etc.. So it gives me social anxiety because I'm always thinking in my head "OMG! Im gonna hurl!". However "safe" places are fine, ie.. I'm fine at home, generally fine at work (unless I have a ton of clients and then it gets overwhelming) and at friend's places etc...
Problem is Prozac seems to be making me sick to my stomach, and not only that, it has killed my appetite. I can safely say that I now force myself to eat at scheduled times. This is horrible, because for the longest time I felt "safe" when I got hungry - it meant I was healthy and not about to woof my cookies.
I am also not sleeping, at all. Absolutely exhausted but can't sleep. I'm like a walking zombie. I do get some sleep from about 4-8AM.
I just feel like crap, crappier than before the pills. Atleast before the pills the "sickness" was in my head and not a physical manifestation.
Anyone else have this problem, or know something that is not going to make me feel crappy?
