> I have panic disorder and started taking Prozac several months ago at 5 mg (the start off low approach), thought it was of some help and have increased the dose slowly to 15 mg, which I've been taking for about 3 months. I tried 20 mg one time a month ago and it sent me into a deep depression. Two days ago, I went to 17.5 mg and within 24 hours, I was flying! I never had any insomnia, stimulation, etc. from Prozac until now. It's a nice feeling-but how could it have happened that fast? Anyone had a similar experience?
I've heard that a short ssri withdrawal can give you a better feeling for a limited time. But I don't know personally. Why didn't you stay on 5mg Prozac and how
is the effect on panic, depression compared with other ssris e.g. paxil?kind regards
