starting prozac- avoid side effects?

Posted by glenn on May 5, 2002, at 7:43:00

hi there, i am just about to start prozac and i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas tips or experience in avoiding or minimising side effects especially anxiety , restlessness nad akathisia.
I have tried paxil and zoloft at the full doses and they both made me very restless and in zolofts case
i was shaking so much i couldnt walk properly.
i take a bit of xanax occasionally which mellows me a little but does nothing for low mood, at the moment my anxiety is well under control with exercise and meditation and a low dose of propanolol, i think prozac may help my mood if i can tolerate it for long enough- any ideas , anything at all would be helpful.
thankyou in advance
