Prozac made me very anxious and edgy at any dose, and I took it on and off for a long time (sometimes for months at a stretch). The doctors insisted that the side effects wear off, but they never did for me until I quit it for good several years ago.
My current pdoc considers Prozac the most anxiogenic of the SSRIs for people with anxiety problems, and says he generally avoids it for patients in this category. He wasn't at all surprised when I described my reaction to it, and said that's pretty common.
