jt07 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 SSRIs in general numb me out and Prozac in particular made me very irritable. It's to be expected that you would have some side effects with raising your dose. You have to give it time for things to settle down. Prozac usually takes a while to work so I'd give the new dose a full 6 weeks to see how you feel. The side effects should go away before then though, hopefully in a week or two.

melissaw72 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Quote Any one else feel kinda numb or sad or irritable when dose is doubled ??? Re Prozac, no, I didn't feel that way. Not saying that what you are experiencing isn't real, just that because people are different, it can go either way whether prozac can make you feel one way or another. Like jt said, hopefully the side effects will probably wear off for you. I'd give it time to really get into your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowan77 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I was on 20 mg and that was increased to 40 mg after about 3 months. I take it in the morning and it never caused me any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S/he might want to know what is going on since your nurse practitioner is prescribing the meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
