I've been on Prozac(generic) for a little over 6 years and I think it's starting to wear off, or "poop out" as they call it. I fluctuated from 20 to 40mg a couple times when I first started it, but for the past few years I've been at 20mg.
While on it I felt good, with the occasional mild panic attack that I could control and subdue and be fine. But just last month, driving home from work, I got a panic attack and wasn't able to control it, and it was a downward spiral from there. Those familiar anxiety/panic symptoms have returned. The only good thing is it's not as bad as it has been in the past, but it's still a horrible feeling. I talked to my doc and he increased my dosage from 20mg to 40mg to see if that does the trick.
Maybe 20 mg wasn't cutting it anymore and 40 will work better? Maybe I need to switch antidepressants? Has anyone else gone through this? Thanks for reading this, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
