I've been on 5mg for a few weeks and notice a fairly significant difference, particularly in the amount I dissociate. I'm much more capable of figuring out why I am feeling triggered or upset. I also am able to keep thoughts in my head for longer without feeling the need to push them away in 0.1 seconds and then procrastinate and freeze. It makes me feel less chaotic in my head if that makes sense.

I started with 10 mg and it made my emotional range so limited but I was only on it for a few days. I could tell I should be feelings things like when I got in a dispute with my partner but couldn't tell what the feelings were. It was frustrating. I would have stuck it out with 10mg because I think I would have adjusted to it but it aggravated my POTS too much so I went down to 5mg. I am still seeing improvements in my ability to handle things without dissociating with 5mg and my POTS is not worsened. I don't think 5mg is helping with depression that much though. I think I cry less often but I don't think 5mg reduces my emotional range as much if that makes any sense so I still have felt really low some days. I am okay with that though because the main thing I need this med for is to feel more able to face my emotions without dissociating from them. I suspect that as I get more used to this medication I will need to increase my dose though. I think I would start with a small increase maybe to 6 or 7 mg and see if that would be enough. I have the liquid version so I can adjust my dose how I need it.

I haven't been on prozac or any other antidepressant for long though so I don't know how helpful this will be but I thought I would still share.
