[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an adult who takes Prozac to manage my anxiety symptoms. Why does it make you nervous?[/quote] Because it increases dwell time of serotonin and perhaps other neurotransmitters, in the synapse of the neurons. This causes overexcitement in the brain and anxiety. However over time it will dull the response and damage the neurons, so it then can cause slower brain activity. Changing the dosage or medication type of SSRI will often cause a reboot of this activity and more neural activity, until the drug does more harm again and settles the neural activity. [/quote] I am not totally anti-meds but this point does concern me.[/quote]
