In reply to Can Prozac CAUSE anxiety?, posted by Cindylou on July 22, 2001, at 17:21:24
> Hello,
> I'm wondering if Prozac can cause anxiety -- I have had a horrible week of anxiety attacks -- always expecting the worst to happen, etc. I recently started taking Prozac, and I just increased the dose to 10 mg (which is a lot for me since I am very sensitive to medications) about a week and a half ago. I also take Wellbutrin, and just increased that to 200 mg.

> I have been on many different ADs in the past, and have had all sorts of trouble with them, but never anxiety like this -- I usually suffer from fatigue and "drugged-out" feelings. I've been on Prozac in the past, and never had anxiety from it before, but it never worked for me for longer than a month or two.

This discomfort took place before the drug kicked in though.
