Prozac - After increasing to 40mg please answer?

I changed my prozac brand 20mg and its feels like i start it again ! After 2 or 3 weeks i had severe depression but after that i feel good again it was awful but it got so better in the next week . Now i must increasing the dosage to 40mg . Its so scary for me too to live with those side effects for the weeks again :(

Hello, I'm also on fluoxetine started on 20mg for 3months then my dr. put me on 40mg & thats what i'm still on & doing fine. I didn't have any problems when I went from 20mg to 40mg. But everyone is different I would give it a few more weeks. But if you can't handle it talk to your dr. maybe you need a different med.
Hope everything work out for you.

I was on 40 mg of Prozac a day at one point. And it did help, it took about two weeks for me to feel better. However everyone is different. And medication does not work the same in everybody. Because our bodies are different. However after awhile at that dose I became very hyper. My new Psychiatrist cut back on it slowly until I was on a much lower dose, now the doctor has me completely off of it. But my case I have Aspergers and truthfully I should not have been on any psych drug. But, my main concern for you is your desperation, like I said everyone is different and reacts different. My advice to you is to call your doctor and talk about how you feel and your concerns. I hope that was helpful for you.
