question about Prozac withdrawal

Posted by ivy5556 @ivy5556, 4 hours ago

About a month ago I started taking Prozac, I can’t remember what dose but I took it for about a week but it was giving me such bad anxiety and paranoia. I went to the ER and the doctor told me to cold turkey it, so I did.

That was around 25 days ago now but I’m having such extreme paranoia, anxiety, depression and agitation. It seems unlikely to have symptoms like this from the Prozac when I only took it for a week but I’m wondering if it could be the Prozac withdrawals that’s making me like this?

I’m at my wits end with anxiety and paranoia over everything. I’ve been having thoughts that I know are not real like: thinking I’m cursed, thinking god will hurt me, and even thinking a spirit has attached itself to me (which I do kind of believe, but unsure if this is even logical or not.)

I went to the doctor and they put me on Lexapro, and I’ve been taking it for 2 days now but I understand that it takes time to kick in. I just want these horrible thoughts to end but I don’t know if this is the Prozac or not, is it possible it COULD be because of the Prozac?
