for most, prozac is activating at start-up. i like that extra boost. why i started prozac in 1st place & why i've returned to it more than others - & i DO gave GAD. activating, yet shortly down road, also calming, so nice mix. fractured sleep that never goes away - not so good.
i've taken all newer gx ads + combos.
for me, the VERY slight, but wholly pleasurable 'stimulation' remains. YMMV. gi SEs most tolerable of all ads; now, even these too much. may have over-sensitized serotonin receptors in gut, but - NO doubt about it! - reflux started as DIRECT result of all mood stabilizers tried over 9 yrs. of a mis-dx BP1.
subgroup of prozac users ARE better at lower doses. true for me. i remitted at 3 wks, each time, but many take longer.
IF you have the tablet, just break in half =10 mgs., since scored. if dosage gives you remission, you *may* want to have doc call pharmacy to change existing rx to 10 mg tabs.
floating description sounds like depersonalization - common at start-up of prozac. however, i've never heard of anyone having it for 5 wks!
NO possibility that you're having prozac-induced apathy - if that ever even happens to you - at 5 wks.
i agree with ed uk - give it more time..
