dianamarie1215 0 Posted February 1, 2016 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antman15 17 Posted February 1, 2016 I have the same twitches and jerks. It's when you're just chillen and anxious when they are the worst. Just try to relax and don't feed into them. Drinking lots of water and staying hydrated is the best thing you can do Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
