Social Anxiety Question =/ Prozac ?

Question

I have social anxiety with teenagers. I've been on Prozac for two weeks on 20 milligrams. I can't tell if its working. I feel like some days its working and i feel more relaxed in class. And other days, its feels worse than it's ever been. I don't know what to think. Should I keep going .. do I need a higher dose.. is it my body get use to the meds .. or is the pill not for me?

Answer 1

It can take 4-6 weeks for anti depressants to fully get into your system and effectivly work.  I would keep trying til then.

Make sure you stay in contact with your doc though.  Contact them, let them know how you are feeling.  Always be on the safe side, and there are no stupid questions.
