Welcome to the boards!

Everybody is different in their reactions to SSRI's. Know that it often takes 2-4 weeks to begin to feel better. Hang in there!

My personal reaction was that I was a bit more thirsty & needed to carry more water on my bike. Your initial reactions may disappear over time, as your body gets used to the drug. If you cannot handle a particular reaction, talk to you doc about lowering the dosage and increasing slowly. Also, remember that if prozac doesn't work, there are a lot of other antidepressants on the market.

If you are experiencing depression, it is important to handle that now. Racing will always be there for you. This is not to say that you cannot do both - you absolutely can. But, it is about priorities.

Be sure to keep us informed!
