Hey antman how long have u been twitching? Is yours from prozac?

I went to see a GP due to increased anxiety and stress (I have health anxiety, mom very ill, grandmother had heart attack,my baby ill for past 8 moths). Ive always been perfectly health except I tend to worry a lot and get easily stressed and lately a lot has been making it worse. I had a small red painful bump in my armpit and I had myself convinced it was c****r (ingrown hair) it went away in 2 weeks but I had myself all worked up horrible thinking my kids wouldn't have a mom (3 girls ages 1,4,9) I'm 32. After that I couldn't get my anxiety under control it has been one illness after the other I think I have. MY GP prescribed me Prozac in beginning of Dec. I took 3 doses after having horrible side effects, such as muscle twitching and jerks that would keep me awake. night sweats, insomnia when I could sleep, tingling hands and feet, increased anxiety, I couldn't sit down, couldn't eat it was horrible. I went to the ER on day 2 for help they just gave me atarax and kicked me out. I took it and it helped maybe a tiny bit to fall asleep for a few hours but I felt hung over the next day with all the symptoms still driving me crazy. I stopped the atarax my GP didn't want to listen to me. I am switching to a new one in March. I see a psychiatrist tomorrow to help me try to get my anxiety under control it has been terrible for the past 2 months. After stopping the Prozac after 3 days symptoms finally started going away except the muscle twitching/jerks,i still cant sleep, and anxiety is horrible. I am most concerned over the jerks and twitches since it has been about a month and a half. Has anyone else had this? I never had then until the darn Prozac! If so how long will it last can anything stop it?? I now have myself convinced I have ALS... I feel hopeless.. any advice help would be great
