3rd Prozac Update - Feeling Fair

August 15, 2026··

Feeling fair. Been having bouts of anxiety, fatigue, and sweating. Head and neck still getting hot. Today was a little better, maybe because I could sleep until 10:30 and had the day off. Day 4 of the Cymbalta being at 0 and no increase in symptoms. I know it could be delayed, but I'm trying to be positive about being in the big danger zone and not feeling worse.

Good to hear you're holding steady at day 4. Those hot flashes and anxiety bouts are your nervous system recalibrating, so try not to read too much into each day's ups and downs.
