Hi everyone - I'm new to this forum and have been reading lots of the supportive post regarding fluoxetine and anxiety so wondered if anyone could give me some advice. In brief I've been on Prozac 20mg for many years but following the birth of my second child 2 and a half years ago I started to get very anxious (general anxiety nothing specific) and my dose was increased to 40mg. Fairly quickly the anxiety subsided and I stayed on the increased dose for a year before reducing it without too many problems. Anyway fast forward a year and awful anxiety started to creep back in - this was 9 weeks ago. My dosage was increased to 30 mg then 2 weeks later 40mg. So I've been on 40 mg for 7 weeks now and though I am without doubt feeling less anxious it has by no means disappeared. I still feel very sick every day and as I say often anxious at times and I'm wondering if I'm still experiencing the side effects from my dosage increase and that perhaps the full theraputic effects haven't had a chance to kick in. I'm due a chat with my GP on Monday and she'll ask whether I want to change my meds. I'm loathed to change to another SSRI if fluoxetine is right for me but I'm just being inpatient. So I guess in short what I'm asking is this. 7 weeks ago I was almost crippled with anxiety...now I'm functioning much better but still feeling anxious quite a bit of the time. Do I stick with fluoxetine for longer before trying something else or try something else?
