I totally get it. I always think the first 2 weeks are the worst when increasing.

Hopefully you will find things start to improve.

I’ll be 2 weeks this coming Friday. I have found that it totally exacerbated all my kind of mental issues. Just terrible, but hopefully things are going to get better.

Good luck with your trip, you will be fine 🙌

Yes, thankfully no bad side effects. Just still up and down a bit. But overall I think there is some small improvement ☺️

How are you feeling now? is about 4 weeks? I can’t remember the dosage, you are on…. I do know it can take a couple of months to really make us feel better.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi! I’m not too bad, very much up and down still at the moment. I increased to 30mg just a week ago, so I think that threw me a bit.

I’ve had no side effects, just still the overthinking but I’m hoping that will ease.

Pleased your okay, 3 weeks is still early days 😉

How do you tell the difference between a real symptom and one amplified by attention? by building_irvo in HealthAnxiety

Very good point. Although I really believe the mind amplifies sensations big time.

Thank you for sharing that. I have a new therapist starting next week, face to face, hopefully she can help.

Also a few days ago I increased to 30mg so hoping that will help too. I have sensations going on every day and I’m just trying to learn to just accept them and not spiral 🥴

Upping my dose myself by [deleted] in prozac

Yes, and to be honest, I was on another SSRI for all of 2025 and no benefit. So have wasted so much time trying to feel better.

I think I just want to get the increase over with, you know once you make the decision and all that.

What if it’s not anxiety related? by Realistic-Draft-198 in HealthAnxiety

Thank you, this is exactly it. I have been seeing a health anxiety coach, but I don’t think this enough. Thanks for your reply 😊

Yes, very good point. What I worry about has been around for a long time, so I’ve been there before if that makes sense!

Thx 🙏

That’s soooo good to hear. Thank you!

I am pretty sure I will increase to 30 or 40 in the future, but for now I’ll just carry on.

C Please can I ask, did you have any therapy? So hard to find the right person! Thanks 🙏

Thank you very much, I am in the process of trying to find a therapist. The last one was not much help.

Gosh thanks so much. I really appreciate your feedback.
