I was struck down with extreme anxiety at 13 and it never really left. Through the years, I thought it got better but it just changed from immense fear to hyperactivity and restlessness. I've had hypomanic episodes with euphoria but doctor said anxiety can make you feel euphoric and these ups and downs are normal. 

Just over a week ago I rang the doctor and was put on 20mg of fluxotine aka prozac (first time with an antidepressant ever). I felt a nice tired, slowed down, and went from extremely horny always to little sexual desire, which is sometimes nice.

9 days in and I feel slowed down, I can hold a conversation, the days seem a little brighter and sunnier, I feel all my emotions are somewhat numbed and flattened which is actually nice compared to feeling the extremes of everything. I notice I'm more coherent, less erratic, more open and generally have much more sense about me. I hated the idea of needing medication to feel normal but I'm starting to accept it. Just wanted to share my experience, let me know any tips or what to expect. Thanks guys :)
