In reply to 20mg Prozac helped with depression BUT, posted by Partlycloudy on August 26, 2008, at 11:20:33
PC are you taking all the 20mg in the am? I know it's long acting so maybe a lower dose of prozac would work. I do remember when it first came out that there was only one strength the 20mg and my pdoc that was in Virginia I wasn't depressed wanted to see what it would do for anxiety so instead of just taking .25 then of xanax Bid he gave me the 20 of prozac. Day l wallpapered a foyer had the paper three years, day two felt some anxiety where I hadn't had any in years, day three full panic so I went off it it took me three days to calm down to base line which for me was normal. yes I was normal not anxious and working two jobs. When saw pdoc again he begged me to take it every three days he thought I'd responded incredibly well and in a short time. I said no. I wonder today what would be my status if I'd taken it every three days. At that time I needed no xanax at all lots of days. So I do know the feelings of anxiety that accompany it. I can't see how how higher doses could be less stimulating than lower ones. I think SLS said that not sure. Valerian is also supposed to be good. Maybe go back to the sedating dose of remeron for a while. Hey what do I know it's been l4 years since I worked with psych meds. Good luck and I'm sure you've talked to your pdoc. If not call him.
