"I could literally feel my brain chemicals being altered in combination with a feeling of "not being myself" -all after only 5 days of Sarafem usage! Also hives on my back." "Prozac - yawning all the time. The yawns were so big and insatiable, it felt like my head would split open. Obsessive fear of being raped." "Involuntary muscle movements. Prozac." "I no longer take Prozac or Zoloft but I was on one or the other for approximately 8 years. Side effects I experienced other than those listed above were liver pain, severe hypoglycemia, hangover even after only having 1 glass of wine, easy bruising. I have been off SSRIs for a year now and I have not had any of these symptoms since. God only knows what this stuff was doing to my endocrine system." "On Prozac, I have become completely paranoid, harboring murderous thoughts for people don't even know...such as those in a queue (line) at a supermarket." "Prozac: Feel enormous head pressure combined with dizziness." "I am taking Fluoxetine. I have begun to have significant pain in my right arm with no apparent causative agent such as an injury." "Lost erectile function after 2 years of 20 mg use (PROZAC)" "Took Prozac for six months. In that time, felt more depressed than before taking. Agitated, restless, lost appetite (couldn't keep down food or water), had nightmares when I could sleep (usually, I couldn't), severe shaking in hands and leg tremors. Audio hallucinations. Finally, after a bout of self-mutilation, I checked myself into the hospital where they UPPED my dosage of Prozac and added Desryl. After that, I tried to kill myself twice (overdosing on the Desryl and severe self-mutilation.) Finally stopped cold turkey." "Abnormal menstrual bleeding resulting in emergency surgery while taking Prozac for one year." "PROZAC. MAJOR HAIR LOSS" "Jerky movements, incoordination on Prozac." "Wellbutrin then Paxil, now Prozac. Similar symptoms with all three: Clutched Jaw, and biting down on cheeks. Heavy feeling on chest, hard to breath." "I haven't taken Sarafem in 4 or 5 days. I've been trying to fall asleep, but I'm afraid my heart will stop. I feel like I'm going to pass out as I get close to losing consciousness to sleep. I decided to look up "Sarafem side-effects" to see if my symptoms were one, but there are so many side effects that now I am not sure." "Blurting out thoughts out loud instead of thinking before I speak. Sarafem." "I cannot seem to get the help I need. I have stopped taking the Sarafem altogether and the withdrawal is worse than the side effects that I had when I was taking the Sarafem. Emotional lability, apathy, severe agitation and mood swings with depression and lethargy, I am bloated, have severe headaches...I know that stopping cold turkey is the wrong way to do this, but I could not function in my everyday job with my thinking being clouded the way it was on the Sarafem....Please make suggestion...doctors don't seem to believe the symptoms I report." "I started taking Sarafem and began having painful problems with urinary frequency and pain in my urethra so bad I could hardly find a comfortable position to sit. My gynecologist told me it was doubtful that this medicine would cause this problem. I believed it was causing my problems and when I went off the Sarafem my symptoms went away." "Sleepy all the time. I hate to sleep. I don't like the dreams I have." "Only taken one 10mg. dose heart is pounding Shaking mouth is dry Also have Hep.c This concerns me .I was put on this for same symptom's Sarafem may cause I live in a small town no good medical care .I don't believe I'll continue taking Sarafem!" "Was prescribed this for anxiety. Dr. Must have been smoking crack. I am not depressed. Prozac made me withdraw from people I love, had a few black outs, constantly tired, light-headed, dizzy, nausea like pregnancy, very sensitive to sound, severe migraines, fuzzy vision, frequent chills, inner nervousness, not able to sleep at night, cannot get comfortable, unable to concentrate at work, hard time speaking comprehensive sentences, unable to deal with noise, ear popping, severe mucus formation in back of throat. I threw those darn pills in the trash and now I feel wonderful. I am back to my happy self again and loving life. I was not suffering from anxiety, but instead ALLERGIES!! Get a 2nd opinion!" "My brother committed suicide after they upped his dose of Prozac." "Numbness in left side of body, especially arm and hand. This would happen while I was using Prozac. It would just go numb." "Headaches, back aches, lack of concentration drugged feeling, sleeping too much (14 hours) rash on both arms and neck. I only took the Prozac for 2 weeks, I didn't feel this bad before the drug. Feel tingling in neck and head like a stroke...feels like blood is thick and I cant breathe." "Prozac - Hungry all the time but food became tasteless. "Easily angered and "blow up" over the simplest incidences." "On Prozac 10 mg, I felt more depressed and fatigued. Increased to 20 mg., I feel a strange feeling down my arms, a really creepy feeling which rushes for a few minutes and then stops and then returns sporadically. Muscles in arms and upper back totally tense. Feels like a poison going through my veins or nerves." Read more stories SSRI Stories
