Hi everyone,
I just wondered what people’s experiences were with 20mg Prozac vs. 40mg Prozac?
I saw a new consultant just over two weeks ago and he advised that I doubled my dose from 20mg to 40mg to see if it helped with the anxiety (fyi – I’ve been on 20mg for about two years). Funnily enough, I’d been feeling a bit better with my anxiety (less panic attacks etc) and certainly wasn’t depressed when I saw him, but to paint the picture; I was also diagnosed with adhd and he wanted to try the doubled Prozac dose first before trying ritalin “in case the Ritalin made me worse”.
Anyway, I’ve been on 40mg now for two weeks and I feel horrendous! Generalised anxiety far more spiked – almost like a ‘buzzing’ in my head that keeps me awake at night. Terrible insomnia, jittery, exhausted and shivery in the day, indigestion… (worse than when I first started!). I left a msg with my consultant yesterday asking what I should do, but I’m yet to hear back from him.
In the meantime, I just wondered what other people’s experiences were of the two doses? Is it possible that 40mg is just too much for me, or should I just be toughing it out until it passes?... if it ever does??
Has anyone done better on 20mg rather than 40mg?
Any advice much appreciated… :weep:
Thank you x
