About 5 days ago, I increased my prozac from 40mg to 60mg, after being on 40 for about 4 months. These past few days have been awful and I have been suffering terrible side effects. I have been dizzy and lightheaded, feeling extra anxious, jittery, no motivation. The biggest concern is the dizziness, and I have terrible OCD, and I keep thinking its a brain tumor. My GP said to give it 10 days, but I just need some reassurance that this will go away... anything helps.
Hi Chelsea, were you feeling ok on 40 or did you up it because you were still feeling anxious? If this persists much longer then I would speak to the doctor about taking the dose back down. Maybe they could build up the dose more gently for you. We all react in different ways to medication and maybe this one isn’t for you. I’ve changed meds over the years and one I took last year made me feel terrible so I know how you feel.
I would ho back to your Dr anx tell him that.. he may put you on a different med...prozac made me throw up so my Dr switched mine
