Tell doctor NOW: Please tell your doctor today about your response so far to the prozac (fluoxetine). Nausea and agitation are not uncommon side effects, especially early in your course. They could dissipate with time. I'm more concerned about more depressed, shaky, and "i hate life." please call your doctor today.
