hey i'm new here, i hope someone can help me, i didn't have much luck on other forums! I will just give you a bit of background information. I'm 19, male from England and about a year ago i started getting nausious all the time and having this sort of gnawing feeling in my stomach, sometimes migrains too. So i had to pull out of college, i just couldn't handle struggling into class and back every day trying not to be sick. I had like EVERY test done, but they all came back negative, so they finally decided it was anxiety. By this point i didn't dare leave the house, i COULD NOT be in a situation i couldn't get out of easily without getting intense nausea and feelings of panic.
So now they have put me on Prozac, and i took my 4th pill today. My doctor said it would take 4 weeks to start working, and a friend of mine who went through the same said that often anxiety gets worse on the first few days on prozac while you adjust.
The thing is my nausea has gone WILD - i couldn't sleep last night because i had to keep running to the bathroom, and then when i finally did get to sleep (in a sitting up position) i woke up at 4am and had to go sit in the bathroom for 20mins, i swear i have NEVER felt that sick. I don't know whether the nausea is a syptom of Prozac and my body just can't tolerate the drug, or if this is the increase in anxiety as i adjust to the drug. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I'm driving myself crazy thinking about it and worrying that if i can't tolerate prozac that i will NEVER find a drug that works.
Sorry for the rant, i just can't stop worrying about it. thanks for reading!
