Increased dose to 40 mg

Treatment and medication
1

I started off with 20 mg of fluoxetine and wasn’t really feeling any effects after 10 weeks so the doctor upped me to 40 mg. Now I am experiencing quite a lot of anxiety, I don’t know if this is because my dosage had been upped or I am not taking my tablets to help me sleep because there is a supply issue! 

I haven’t taken my tablets to help me sleep in about a week, I can’t get them anywhere because there is a supply issue, I don’t know if this is also causing abit of the anxiety. Can I decrease my dosage to 30 mg of fluoxetine?

Yes I heard that everytime you go up a dosage you get side effects but they shouldn't last long, maybe 3 weeks or so, you should definitely do 30 first they increase to 40, hope you feel better soon.
