hello. on my 5th week of fluoxetine now (1 week on 10mg and 4 weeks at 20mg). I feel a lot better now than when I first started on it, but a lot of the side effects I was experiencing was withdrawal from seroxat. I just dont know whether I should increase my dose. I just feel flat, not looking forward to anything, waking up in the morning and wishing the hours away until the next day. still not back to work as anxious and having the odd panic attack. How do I know when the fluoxetine is at its full strength?

For me it took a good two months of ups and downs on 40mg before I really started leveling out. Been on 40mg for now for 91/2 weeks. Please don't give up too soon!
