C.,

A gradual transition along with your consistent use of coping skills should make this an easy and successful switch. You are moving within the same family of meds, (both SSRI's) so it will likely be very smooth.

Best to you and keep us updated

Hi

I hope your transition goes well.

I am currently taking Prozac and have found it to be really helpful so I hope it works well for you.

Thanks for all the replies. I made the mistake of taking it at night because that's when I take my lexapro. I did so so the first night, was up most of the night last night. So my anxiety is up today. I will wait to take it in the morning tomorrow and from here on out. Insomnia seems to be the only side effect so far, which I guess is good. Once I get in the right schedule, I am hoping it will help.

The Prozac may make a big difference in your life in a positive way, Cashless!

However, if it doesn't work well for you, I bet you will find a pill(s) that will work for you, as their's never been a better time to go on psychiatric medications. Their are so many psychiatric meds out there that really do help people in a great way.

So stay positive, Cashless, and good luck with the Prozac!
