Anyone else on Prozac? Started it 2 weeks ago and it’s been up and down, but mostly positive. Feeling a little jittery/twitchy and sometimes even more anxious but overall less depressed. Will it level out? And yes I am consulting my doctor regularly as well!

I’ve been on Prozac for four years and it changed my life in a profoundly positive way.

I personally experienced twitchiness and anxiety when my dosage was too high. When I dropped down to a lower dose, those feelings went away. But obviously your experience is unique.

Hopefully it levels out ASAP.
