In reply to What drug worked best for your depression/anxiety?, posted by Dysfunk on December 26, 2002, at 14:16:10
Hi Dysfunk, I don't know if this will be of any help to you, as I suffer from OCD, not primarily depression, but I also have severe anxiety - anyhow, my experience with prozac sounds exactly like yours, it worked brilliantly for four months, then the anxiety just came flooding back in. I haven't been stable in five years ever since. Today, I had the fortune of talking with one of the worlds leading experts in OCD, and he told me that some people are fast metabolizers of drugs, and that I may have to raise the dose up to 160mg, to reach a level, where my body can't "adjust" to the prozac, how ever that happens, and render it uneffective. He suggested going up at 20mg/week Best of luck
