A member asked:
Can anxiety randomly cause dizziness, head pressure and random onset fatigue? will taking prozac (fluoxetine) potentially help treat this issue? brain mri was ok.

Yes it should: So glad to hear that brain MRI was ok. Yes, Prozac (fluoxetine) is prescribed for people who have anxiety and the symptoms you have reported are anxiety related. It should start relieving symptoms within two weeks with maximum effect in 4-6 weeks. Psychotherapy also will help to learn to manage anxiety triggers.
