I have read that going off an AD that was successful or easy the first time can cause the second trial to be unsuccessful or at least not so easy. Hang in there. My first time on prozac was at the full 20 right away and no problems. The last time, two years ago nearly, I had so many problems with it I had to stop and try again at 3.5 mg every other day. Kid you not. That was with liquid titration, finally making it up to 20 after a few months. Anyway--as said--hang in there, and don't get discouraged.
> That's what happened to me when prozac new. First day lots of great energy, second day anxiety, third day constant panic frozen on the counter top on the phone. That was 20mg when only dose available. Since was working and had felt great on .25 of xanax BID I flushed it down the toilet. Took three days to get back to normal with extra xanax. When saw pdoc about three weeks later he thought I'd had a miraculous response and wanted me to take it every three days too bad didn't come in small doses then. but it works well for you so could you go slower with the long halflife?
