> Has anyone been on Prozac 20mg/day for a month and not experienced any major changes?
I am in my fourth week on 20mg and have noticed some good effects, however, I am wondering if they seem to be wearing off a little. I don't really want to increase the dose because I am afraid of the sexual side-effects. I have noticed a delay in achieving orgasm at this doese but at least it is manageable. Afraid if i increase the dose that I might lose the ability altogether.
I have noticed a definite mood stabilising effect on 20mg and am a bit more social and outgoing.
I started to feel more interest in things but this seems to have reverted back to apathy and lethargy (not quite as bad as before though). My concentration is better.
I also seem to be alternating between insomnia and sleepiness. (I take temazepam at night if i can't sleep).
I am wondering if i need to augment my Prozac with something else, to give me some drive and motivation. I've heard good things about Prozac and wellbutrin in combination (and that this may also help the sexual problems) and also reboxetine, adrafinil and amisulpride, although i don't know anything about combining these with Prozac (also I'm in Australia and all of these are unavailable here so i would have to convince my doc that they would be useful).Anyone have any thoughts?
As far as your dose of Prozac goes, it is probably time to increase the dose. Have you noticed any effect at all, good or bad?
Sue.
