Not working after dose change
I started on 20 mg about 6 months ago and it was life changing. After around week 5 I felt more social, actually happy for the first time in a very long time and I had no OCD issues anymore. For some reason my doctor (past doctor) told me to bump up to 40 so I did just that. Of course the initial bump up sucked. But after around week 6 on 40 I decided it was way too much. My drinking got out of control, my spending habits flew through the roof and I was not myself anymore. I ended up going back down to 20.
I stayed at 20 for about another 5 weeks and it felt like I did before I even started Prozac. I’m now on 30 and have been for about a month or so now. I can feel the OCD being a little better but my over all mood is.. non existent. I just feel empty and I don’t want to be bothered by anyone. I’m wondering if me jumping to 40 just “fried” my brain on Prozac and I have to move to another medication now. I’ve since quit drinking so that’s a plus.
