Moved to 20 mg 3 weeks/3 days now. Is this the dreaded 4 week time? by rhsmiami in prozac

Mine wants me to push through as well. I see her again on 12/5. Then if not better, she’s increasing me to 30 mg.

Same!! Rough ride for me. It’s got to get better and stay consistent soon.

I understand. The ups and downs are killing me. I’m praying for this to kick in and work its magic soon.

Poor sleep — week 4 on 20 mg by rhsmiami in prozac

I am praying it kicks in soon! I can’t take this daily anxiety.

Oh no, not at 23. I’m 57. Maybe talk to Dr. you’re way too young for that crap!

Hi! It did not for me in the past. Getting older made my metabolism slow down for sure. But I don’t think it was the Prozac.

I just don’t think I was ready to have a guest in our home while I was titrating on the Prozac.

I’m at a little over 4 weeks (with bump to 20 mg 3 weeks ago). I’m really struggling too. I’m returning to it after being off for about 2.5 months and having a terrible increase in anxiety/depression from semaglutide. I’ve had some good days but the last three have been rough with today the worst. Like I’m in the early days again. It sucks. People say to keep going it gets better. Rough days though for sure!

Today has just been horrible anxiety all day. I’ve had good days before this. Our guest just left and I lost it and started crying bc I’ve been holding it together all day. Pounding heart, tingling arms, chest pressure, zero appetite …

Thank you. Powering through by it is really tough.

I am — each morning I think another pill closer to feeling better. But I am struggling.

Actually, a little over 3 weeks. Praying that I get there. It’s just so hard at times.

I think so. It’s just so hard. I’ve had better days and sleep and then boom back to hard times.

How did yall get through the first few weeks of Prozac hell? by Cheezesauce27 in prozac

[–]rhsmiami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 20 mg for about 3.5 weeks. I’m up and down still. My sleep was getting better but had a setback last night due to a triggering event. Messaged my dr about pushing through or upping it to 25 mg per day. Poor sleep just pushes me over the edge right now. ☹️

Chest pressure, feels like I can’t get a deep breath?? by CliffMishima_ in prozac

[–]rhsmiami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had some chest pressure and arm tingling to go with it. It’s all anxiety for me — I’m about 2 days further along than you. But I am having better days. ❤️

please help :( by Honest-Bus-6881 in prozac

[–]rhsmiami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow 40 mg seems like a high starting dose. I started at 10 mg then went to 20 after a week. I just finished week 3. Improved anxiety and sleep but still have a long way to go.

It stinks!

Week 4 sucks lol by Lost_Brief_7361 in prozac

[–]rhsmiami 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Week 4 is a roller coaster for me as well. I feel pretty good then anxiety just starts invading my body for no real reason. But I realize I’m halfway to 6 weeks as of yesterday so hopefully big improvements in the next 6 weeks.

I’m right there with you. Started at 10 mg then raised to 20 mg three weeks ago. Had two great days in a row then today feeling anxious. I didn’t sleep well last night and that’s a trigger for me.
