hi!! I'm new here :-) I was wondering if anyone knows whats up with me. I've been taking Prozac since October of 2013 recently my doctor changed my dosage from 15mg to 20mg after I started 20mg id have severe anxiety, depression, id feel shaky and just about any anxiety symptom you can think of honestly. I told my doctor and he then put my dosage down to 10mg, since the dosage was changed the severe anxiety has started to wear off. it's somewhat still lingering and I just don't feel like myself and its making me quite sad, but I wont say that I don't feel better I feel almost 100 times better! but does anyone know this feeling? is there anything I can do to get rid of it? how long will it last? :wacko::wacko::wacko::wacko:

Sometimes increasing doses can make you anxious especially in the first few weeks of starting or increasing. How long were you on 20mg for? It's possible that it would have calmed down after a few weeks. SSRI type antidepressants are notorious for making you feel worse before better xx

It can take 2-4 weeks for the body to adjust to a new dose, like it would to a new antidepressant. Give it some more time :)
