Prozac week 6

Posted , 6 users are following.

HI, I just finished week 6 of prozac and for two days my anxiety got worse. I was seeing some nice improvements in my anxiety in weeks 3-5, to the point I thought the rough days were behind me. I know 8 weeks is a normal timeframe to see sustanible results. Please someone give me feedback that i can use to get back on track. Thanks.

    your welcome. yes work issues are a pest. and if you are anxious in the morning it's probably because you are heading in there. I too pass it over to the good man and know that he will provide what's right for me. mental health is a tricky one for sure

      i just remember when i started lexapro 10mg back 7 years ago. once it started working after 3-4 weeks it worked like a charm. unfortunately it pooped out on me in NOV 18 so ive tried buspar and increasing lex to 20mg. after 2-3 months of this not working my doc said prozac. For the most with prozac i saw a gradual decline in anxiety over 5 weeks until this work situation arose and triggerred my anxiety. i hope it doesnt set me back...

    HI

    I just finished my 6 weeks on FLUOXETINE (20-40-60-40mg currently). But i don't feel much improvement yet. Frustrated and worry.

    I assume you've been on med for a long now.

    How's your progress?
