I have been on 20mg for about 11 weeks now and the last 8-9 days or so, my anxiety has come back… i am very aware this drug takes quite some time to work, but i didnt anticipate the anxiety coming back, i guess i thought it would be gone for good…i do not want to increase my dose at all, but am thinking if this continues much longer i will go see the dr again and see what he says. I have gone back to taking a low dose propranalol to get me through whatever this is… I should also mention i had hormone pellets placed around a month ago also ( estrogen and testosterone,and some progesterone cream) so i dont know of that could be causing some of the issues, or not… the pellets tend to peak at about a month post placement, but i dont know if this anxiety is from the prozac, or the pellets…
I do notice that when I have my period that my anxiety is through the roof. I hope this helps. Hang in there.

im not sure what the deal is… i am several years post hysterectomy and post menopause, and this is the first time i have taken HRT… so maybe the added hormones that were previously non exsistent are the issue…i know i will not be getting those pellets in me again…
