I had similar side effects to Prozac after taking it for nearly 3 years, but if you’re having those effects already your psych will probably want to have you try something else.

Just a word of caution. Once you get to doses of 150 mgs or higher it can cause seizures. It's even worse for people who have seizure disorders and epilepsy.

Wellbutrin helped me a ton until it didn't. If you're having a lot of pain with fibro, ask about cymbalta. Cymbalta is used for depression and anxiety but helps with nerve/bone pain. First 2 weeks suck but after that it made a huge difference in my pain and mental state
