Is this Prozac working for my social Anxiety?

Question

I've been on it for 3 and a half weeks and each week i've moved up a pill. I'm on 3 pills for a total of 30mg. So far when I went up to three i've been very moody and on edge with people. it feel like my social anxiety has gotten worse. Should i give it more time? i dont know what to do

Answer 1

I'm on 60mg of Prozac per day, although i initially found/thought that it increased my anxiety, not sure with my condition i was getting anxious anyway......but either way it does get better, it doesn't go away but you may only have it once a week or fortnight.........You learn how to 'manage' the feeling, it is really horrible and so real.......but it is just a 'feeling' that will pass...when you next feel anxious think about this and try and go with it rather than against it, over a period of time you will find this relatively easy to do this.

Good luck my friend.....if you want to talk more about this please let me know

Answer 2

i started taking prozac for anxiety and it took around three or four weeks to work. right when i was about to stop, i started to feel better. but i am only taking one pill a day so i dont know. you should ask the doctor that prescribed it and make sure that the results are what he or she wanted to see in the time frame they had planned on. drugs like fluoxetine are very specific and it is possible a combination of drugs may work better or another drug you may be taking might stunt the effect of the prozac. regardless, as always, consult your doctor. good luck!

Answer 7

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda.



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. The package doesn't have to say Splenda to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might still be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air
