Prozac side effects or depression?

Hi... I've been on prozac two weeks today.  Increased my dose from 10mg to 20 mg per day per my doctor.  I am feeling 50% better but still don't have a lot of interest in doing things.  My appetite is slightly better after days of nausea, which is still there but not as intense.

I think I am being impatient, but I am still fatigued mid-day and I wake up from a deep sleep with headaches at the back of my head and toward my neck.  My anxiety is a fraction of what it was.  I had a moment today at a restaurant when I was eating but I was able to identify quickly what I was feeling and that it wasn't real and within minutes it went away.

I worry the dose isn't enough, but I'm told it might be and just needs more time.  It's discouraging, especially when people ask if I want to consider another drug.  Honestly, I don't even know how to answer that.... I feel better than when I started Prozac, it's been two weeks, everyone says it takes 4-8 weeks.... then people ask if I want to switch.....  That is such a confusing situation for someone who is where I am right now.  Do I hang in there or move on?  Is what I am experiencing normal or not?
