Prozac start-up side effects, dosage, etc.

Posted by jessers11581 on April 21, 2006, at 19:27:04

Hi everyone! Well, I have stopped the Cymbalta (which I had only been taking at 30 mg.), and am now taking 20 mg. of Prozac daily in the morning with breakfast. So far, I've been way more worried, obsessive, and self-conscious. My anxiety has gotten worse, but I'm hoping that perhaps this is a start-up effect that might pass with time? I know that it will need to build up in my system, especially since I wasn't taking a very high dose of Cymbalta. What dose of Prozac is usually effective for anxiety/OCD? Also, I have severe hypochondria at the moment, and I really need something that will help in that regard. I am considering asking my doctor to prescribe Buspar as a supplement to the Prozac. I definitely need something to relieve this chronic worrying. Anyway, has anyone had success with Prozac for anxiety? Will it take a while for this benefit to manifest itself? Thanks for any info!! Jess
