My doc just upped my dose from 10 to 20 3 days ago. For some reason mid day I get this surge. I dont know if it's agitation, restlessness, or hyper. I don't believe it's my anxiety.

    Hi Heather,

    I believe this in normalIve heard others get a burst of energy or soI Didnt but I went from 10 mgs to 15 now on 20Its never happened to me- if anything i am more sleepy

    But Prozac is a great drug & always worked well for me when I was on it for 13 years

    Hang in there!

      Thank you Barb!

      I just think it's an odd sensation. Maybe I shouldn't read too much into it. I just haven't read any side effects info relating to it other than hypermania, which I don't think that's what I'm experiencing.

      Hopefully it will all level out. I'm sure it will!Stay positive, it's early yet for you.I know, sometimes I read too much into every single side effect & get myself all worked up & question everything! LOL

    Hi Heather, when I was switched from 10mg to 20mg, I had increased agitation and anxiety for a week or two and then it went away. Best wishes!!!
