I feel so weak!

HI MOM2 - I'm probably not the best person to listen to, but when I was given prozac I started having violent thoughts, knives freaked me out. Well, they took me off that med. Besides the weird thoughts, I started experiencing SEVERE muscle spasms. Literally every muscle in my body would twitch (like your eye does sometimes) Anyhow, I can't prove it was prozac nor can I disprove it. I even went to a neurologist. Anyhow, now, 2 years later, I still occassionally have muscle spasms (mostly around menstration). It is scary and drove my anxiety through the roof. LIke I told the doctor, you would be anxious to if your **** muscle twitched all day! Anyhow, I agree with calling your doctor now. Should have an answering service. let us know how it goes.

Hi Mom, I get twitching of my eyes when under stress or in anxiety. However, remember you aren't going to die, this might be a side effect from the medicine. Per Law, all Doctors must have emergencey numbers for after hours and weekends. Call now!! They even have to have someone take their calls, another doctor if they are ever out of town. Tell them about the facial spasms, and weak muscle in extremeities. Sincerely, Trish

Literally. I was doing fine for a few days. I had no panic attacks for 3 whole days. (Which is major for me since I have them several times a day!) I started taking 10 mg of prozac a few days ago and For the past few days my arms and legs have been weak and shaky. It's almost hard to walk. Even my facial muscles shake when I smile. That really freaks me out!! I can't remember if this started before I took the prozac or after but I know it was within very close range either way. Has anyone ever experienced this. Please help I am FREAKING OUT telling myself I am dying or something. I can't call my doctor until Monday and even then it takes almost 2 weeks to get an appointment! :8o: I don't think I can make it until then. I'm scared but was wondering if it could be from anxiety or even the medicine. Anyone have any ideas or been through something similar? (especially the facial twicthing thing) Thanks.
