  1. Yea that's what I was wondering, how long after a dose increase. I asked my doctor and am waiting on a reply.
  2. At the time of starting this post it was on a saturday and my drs office was closed and it takes them time to get back to me when i send them messages. I did send one today asking about the medication. I'm just waiting for a reply.
  3. No I'm asking how long it should take to work. I'm curious about other people's experiences. I understand everyone is different.
  4. So I just started the 40mg, I'm on day 6. So should I give the 40mg about 5-6 weeks to see if the increase dose works? I don't have a psychiatrist yet, just a therapist and a regular doctor. I plan to go see one if things don't improve soon but finding one that takes my insurance and can get me in fast will be a challenge.
  5. Thanks. I've just been so tired of feeling this way and am so impatient with myself. I worry that my meds will never work , that its taking too long, that I'll make an impulsive decision that I might regret later.
  6. So I have generalized anxiety disorder. I've been off and on meds since I was 11. I'm 29 now. I was on prozac for 5 years and it worked great and I've been able to have a normal life. I thought I didn't need it anymore so I slowly tapered off and its been maybe 8 months to a year. Then some things in my life happened and the panic attacks and depression came back. So I started taking my prozac again back in July. They were a year old so Idk if they were even effective but I got my dr to get me a new prescription and it took like a week for me to start taking the new ones. I waited about 4 weeks and decided to increase my dose to 40mg (which I was on before) and I started feeling better. However my anxiety hasn't completely went away and I still have moments of depression. I've been on the 40mg now for like 6 days. I'm just wondering how much time I should give it before I decide its not gonna work and try something else. If I was on Prozac before and it worked in the past, it should still work now, right?
