I have been sober for 6 days. I'm on Prozac. The symptoms seem to be getting worse. My hands and feet have started to sweat and I'm restless and agitated. My mind is foggy and racing at the same time. I hate withdrawal!

I think those kinds of things are pretty common NoDrinks, but you can always check with your Dr if you're concerned?

I know you'll find a lot of support and encouragement here anyway - welcome!

That sounds uncomfortable hon. As Dee said, seek medical advice if you are worried, and drink plenty of water. Stick close for support x

My symptoms also seemed to get worse around Day 6 too. For me, the anxiety started to lessen some around Day 8 and dwindle a bit each day, though I still experience episodes. I am on Day 13.

How long have you been on Prozac? If it's a new med for you, that could possibly be an initial response to the new drug..

When i first gave up after a spell of 30 years of drinking it took a couple of weeks to start to feel anywhere near good. Hang in there each day is one step closer to feeling better

I've been on and off Prozac for about 7 years, but it's peaking now. 3 1/2 weeks using 60mg every day. I think it's beginning to plateau. I'm very familiar with it, but there's a lot going on in my life now that is unfamiliar. My girlfriend dumped me, but work is going well. I'm buying a new car. Trying to stop drinking. Trying to start exercising. Sometimes I feel manic-good like everything is going to be okay. 2 hours later I feel anxious and confused. An hour later I feel worn down and depressed. I might go back up. My hands start to sweat. My head starts to hurt a little. It's just a roller coaster and a lot of things are changing. It's hard to tell what's psychological and what's physiological.

I'd say days 4 through 7 were the hardest for me. And your last statement about it's hard to tell - that was on my mind constantly.

At six days sober I should think you'd be thru the worst of it, but if you are concerned, please see your doctor.

It takes time, but yes, it might be an idea to visit your doctor xxxxx
