I have been on Prozac almost a year. I never had any major side effects at any time. I quickly went to 40 mgs; some months later [with my pdoc's okay] I went to 60 mgs. I have always had a low stress tolerlance. I went back to 40 mgs to try to take the least amount. Ny pdoc said I was good on 60 mgs so I've been taking that now a couple of weeks. I feel like Prozac was much better in the beginning. Im trying 80 mgs starting today; I never had side effects at all dosing up or down, Is 80 mgs okay to try? Paxil worked well for me, but had too many side effects. I hate to keep trying ADs; a lot of them agitate me including Serzone, 30 mg Celexa; Zoloft did nothing. My friend is on 80 mgs but has been on Prozac 12 years. I'm not even on it a full year and I need a higher dose. I take Xanax 2x day .5 mgs [sometimes once a day at night] Help, please! Any suggestions.
