So about three weeks I went up from 10-20mg. I was handing lit fine, no side effects. Sleep was good. Now I think I’m in a manic state- can’t sleep, my skin feels all creepy crawly and my chest is tight. I told my psych and she said that the solution is to discontinue the Prozac. Afraid that discontinuing will trigger even more mania. I have zyprexa and latuda to help with mania but I’m scared to come off of the Prozac. I was doing so well for like 4 months. Has anyone gone through this before and stopped taking their ssri because of mania??

So I started on 10 mg Prozac in January. Had really bad anxiety until about week 5 but was able to sleep. One of the biggest reasons for going on Prozac was the anxiety I had around sleep and insomnia and hyper fixation on it. Maybe I’m ocd because when I have a sleepless night, I can’t think of anything else and then I obsess over it and it happens again. The Prozac stopped the obsessive thoughts about sleep which was amazing and I was doing really well for 3 months.

I went up to 20mg about 3 weeks ago and now all the anxiety is back, and the insomnia. How long does it take for these side effects to go away. My doctor is recommending I come off of it completely but I’m scared to do that because I’m afraid the insomnia will come back. I don’t know what to do and I feel so lost.
