Tiki Honey girl, cut your proxac dose in half. That should make it more managable. I used to be big, so they started me at 40mg/day After I wound up underneath my desk at my office in the Downtown area, at about 8:30 at night because I was afraid to try to go home, they told me to cut it down to 20 mg. day. That helped enormulously. (the doc paid for the cab to his office that night) Every now and then someone gets smart and decides to try that again; I go on taking one and after a few weeks report that two is too many, giving me panic & anxiety attacks; and they say, oh, just take one 20 mg a day then; and I say okaygoodfine, and just keep on taking one a day not two ever. They all want to f*ck with my meds. Scroom. It's my body, not theirs. I can tell how I feel. theyc can't tell. They only read about it and heard from the smug drugglers for the parmaceutical houses are pimping about the drugs. OMG Tiki, trust yourself more than them!
Love, Stephy Girrl

I was on prozac for over a year...40mg/day...and found it did fine for my anxiety, but nothing for my depression. As soon as I can, will try something else for depression and maybe manage my anxiety as needed versus chronically. Sorry it is so rough for you. Medication maintenance is such a game of chance these days. Just be very vocal to your doc kuz like saagaadaa said, only you know how you feel. Give yourself plenty of hugs!

(((tiki))) *long time since I read/reply, but new job has kept me tremendously busy*

Prozac is such a sucky medication. I hated it. Zoloft was/is better with me. Still, it's sort of ironic really, that drugs like Zoloft and Prozac both can
~ cause weight-gain (and gaining weight is likely to make me MORE depressed), and
~ kill the libido (and I had always loved sex until I started on medications).

Hope you're starting to feel better a couple of months down the track *big hug*
