I just have a weird headache, but I don’t know if these are the symptoms. Also, everything feels unnerving, like I don’t feel at home. I’m trying to say everything felt comfortable. I try to tell AI and Google, but they are useless.

My docs put me on prozac (well, the generic version of it anyway; it’s cheaper). ~20mg/day seems to be about what I needed. Hope your meds are working out well and you’re less anxious now; get your docs to adjust them if not!
Fluoxetine I’m on 80mg. It’s a decent builder but way better than Zoloft or Lexapro. But the nice part about prozac being a builder is that (and I don’t recommend it) you can skip about two maybe maybe 3 days and be ok. For if your doctor office takes a long holiday weekend.
I will say that I tried an SSRI once before (but not Prozac), and honestly I don’t know that I would have done it again if I knew the withdrawal gets that frustrating. I even went off the way my provider told me (and even a tad slower), so it wasn’t like I went cold turkey or anything. Luckily on my worst day it was a weekend so I had off of work but goddamn.
I don’t understand why Prozac seems to have fallen out of favor. Significantly reduced withdrawal symptoms seems fantastic.
They had me at 40 for a while as it built up; 20 seems to be about right for me as a maintenance dose. I felt like I slept for a week when we cut the dose! :p
