prozac working, but all symptoms not gone

Posted by Jim Bob on September 3, 2002, at 10:53:27

Hey guys,
Well, thank god I think my treatment is finally working. After only 5 days of the increased dose of 30mg of prozac from 4 weeks at 20mg, I'm starting to notice a difference. I just feel more upbeat in general. Last night, instead of being so depressed that I stayed up with suicidal thoughts, I couldn't fall asleep because I couldn't believe that I was actually happy and *not* having those thoughts. However, I'm still having the same problems of not being able to concentrate/focus and persistant social anxiety. My pdoc. said that prozac was also helpful for these symptoms. Would it take longer to notice an effect in that dept. than in general mood? Or did he just say that as an excuse to not prescribe benzos or stimulants, which I believe I might need to improve my overall QOL. All opinions welcome.
Thanks,
Jim Bob
