Week 7 Difficulties

Hi all,

I’ve lurked around this sub for a while now but this is my first time posting. I’ve really appreciated everyone’s insights and sharing their experiences.

I started Prozac 7 weeks ago (I’m also on 150mg Wellbutrin) to help with anxiety and depression I’ve been dealing with for a long time. My CNP started me at 10 mg but said after a couple of weeks to go up to 20mg. I ended up waiting until week 3 to go up to 20mg.

Weeks 3-5 I was feeling really good. Like the best I have felt in a long time. I was feeling some anxiety still, but I was feeling really positive. Then the last couple of weeks I have been in a total funk. Really depressed and sleepy and foggy headed. I’ve also been having a bunch of digestion issues and a lot of meals have been making me crash and feel terrible. (I read something about serotonin being involved in digestion so that’s why I shared that).

I have an appointment with my CNP in 2 weeks to see how things are going, but I guess I wanted to share my experience here and see if anyone has had a similar experience. I don’t know if this means I should go back down to 10mg or if I just need to give 20mg more time. I’ve also seen some people here mention that going up to the next dose ended up helping them a lot.

Anyway thanks again for all the people here who share their experiences. It has really helped me through a lot.
