As you've been there before I wonder if you had fully recovered from that first time. It is too easy for a patient to think they are better (because they 'feel' better( when in reality the patient has only reached an improved position and is still frail underneath. My experiences suggest that you need to be on the drug for a long, long time after you think you are better. Then comes the difficulty of coming off the medication. That needs to be done gradually with agreement of your GP/consultant.
Fluoxetine/Prozac does have a powerful affect on many people but is not the same for everyone. Occasionally changing to a different drug can prove positive. But my belief is that you should first try a higher dose and do not expect miracles immediately.

See your GP/consultant about an increase and then try taking one in the morning and one at night.

You want the medication to work - then believe in it as that gives you an advantage.
