> Jelly yes that's the way it was for instance the first ad I was ever given was 20mg of prozac. Day l so much energy I wallpapered a room after three years of waiting. I felt good real good. Day two anxiety started didn't think a lot about it. But day 3 I was in a panic all day seriously I sat on the countertop and talked to my current husband's exwife. I needed to hear a voice any voice. That night I flushed the pills away. It took three days of double regular xanax dose to stabalize. I was only on .25mg at the time. I thought nothing of it but when I saw the pdoc again he said wow you had a remarkable response to the 20mg of prozac please take it every three days? I said no way. It was horrible never again. Hence my saga for personal fear of meds. I never had a problem with benzos very small doses til the thyroid problems quite a few years later. Love Phillipa ps add that to cortisone killing my Mother when it was new and see where my fear of meds came from. Getting anxious talking about it now.
Taking Prozac every 3 days makes sense since it has such a long half-life. I think there are some people on here who have taken it every other day.
You probably could have dound that Prozac helped, if given a proper dose and treatment plan.
40 mg on day 2 is ridicu;pus by today's standards!
