Hi there, I am new to this website and hopefully, by sharing my experiences I can help others and viceversa. I was on Prozac 20mg for a few months and had experience improvement with anxiety and panic attacks. I stopped taking the meds on september-october due to hurricane Maria, because I live in Puerto Rico, and we were devastated. I lost my car due to the hurricane and so I couldn't go to get a new prescription for my Prozac. When I finally could, I started taking the 20mg prozac again, after a month of not taking. I felt better, but not as I felt the first time I started taking it. I am soon to be a father, and that gives me a lot of anxiety. I talked about that with my psychiatrist and he recommended to get a higher dose, 40mg. He said I should feel improvement in about 2 weeks. I've been taking it for 5 days, and have experience a few panic attacks daily. I want to know if any of you have had this same experience, if so, how did you managed and what coping skills you recommend. Thank you!
