As you all know I've been on Prozac for the last five weeks. Everything has been going so well. A couple side effects but nothing bad. All my anxiety has went away.Unfortunately, the last two or three days my anxiety came back for no reason. I started feeling like I can't breathe again. It drives me nuts. I did switch from 10mg to 20mg two weeks ago. But I don't know. Anyone else ever feel good then the anxiety comes back? I know I can't expect to be suddenly healed and anxiety free but this is very frustrating especially since the anxiety went away for a few weeks. :-(

Setbacks happen, but for people on and off of meds.

There are so many factors...hormones, nutrition/hydration, fatigue, ect...

The good news however, is that you did feel better for a time, and can get back to that good place again.

This detour will not last, and you will feel better again soon.

Try to focus on that rather than the dissapointment of having a couple of rough days.

Use your coping skills, and you will be back on track in no time.:)

You are doing great--do not let a few bad days affect you. Is the weather crapty where you are--winter here and that can add to depression and anxiety too. Hang in there

MM,

I currently take, and have been on, 40mg Prozac for a while. What I did notice was when my dosages were changed, it took my body a little time to adjust to that new dose, even though it was the same medication I've been on.

It's good news you felt great....that will return!
