Increased depression and suicidal ideation.
I’ve been on 20mg if prozac for four weeks to treat anxiety and depression. I noticed immediately that it made my depression worse but I decided to stick with it because I know there is an adjustment period. Now I’m a month in and my depression is still worse than it was before. To make things worse, I have been experiencing suicidal ideation for the first time in over a year.
I am scheduled to up my dosage in a couple of weeks to 40mg because my psych says that’s the dosage that helps anxiety. I’m not sure if it will get better with time and increased dosage. I’m considering stopping Prozac. Does anyone have any advice?
