Prozac causing anxiety?
| Thu, 11-03-2005 - 5:11pm |
i just got back from the pdoc being a mess she upped my prozac to 60 mg but says to watch carefully because sometimes when prozac is at a high dose it can cause anxiety. anybody had trouble with prozac at 60 mg????
i am so nervous and agitated that i can't imagine much more anxiety.

some increased anxiety occurs for a few days then the body
adjusts and hopefully more calm sets in!! I am hoping this
med adjustment helps you!! Judy
Julie,
I too had more anxiety and insomnia when they increased my dosage of Prozac. My doc even said that it might be a sign of manic depression too...which I guess can be aggravated with too much of it.
Thanks Y'all,

I am doing well on the Prozac. With the rise in dosage I have only had two minor incidents of anxiety. One of which was at Wal Mart where I always get anxious.
So far so good.

You know my problem is I think it is too visually stimulating. The People in my head get agitated. And then that brings up the anxiety. Also I don't like crowds so most oftent shop early in the morning or late at night. (Well I can't do the late at night thing anymore because I am in the bed by 10 pm every night. Usually I am in pajamas and watching TV at 8 in the bed.)
I am never able to go to their wonderful after Thanksgiving sale! I am afraid the crowds of people will suck my air away. But I always think of going and who knows maybe this year will be the year I go!
Sincerely,

Hi Everyone-
I'm glad everyone is responding to this question on prozac. I asked one yesterday and today's was very helpful seeing what you all have written.
I think i will try it tonight, is that a good idea to do it at night? Or should I wait til the weekend? I have 10mg, and its the generic, does that make sense? I would love some feedback? And should I save the Xanax if the prozac is making me anxious, or is that BAD?
Thanks, Donna
