40mg prozac worked well for a few months and has since not worked as well- unsure what to do
hi! i've (21F, in college) been on prozac for about 8 months now. before that i tried zoloft and lexapro but zoloft REALLY didn't work for me... lexapro i would be willing to try again. prozac worked amazingly for a few months, but lately ive been feeling like my depression is coming back and my anxiety is worsening again and i just feel numb (it's hard to feel positive emotions too) and my family thinks ive been sleeping an unhealthy amount (12ish hours a day sometimes). i just don't know what to do now, but these are the options ive considered:
- my family thinks (and i kind of agree) that i should start tapering off prozac because i don't want to go up a dose or add anymore meds into the mix, but im scared my anxiety will come back full force.
- i could also go down some dosage?
- i could add smt like wellbutrin
- i could try a different med
i'm just having a really hard time figuring out what to do next and the pressure from my family is starting to get to me and i need to make a decision soon. any advice or anything would be very helpful !!
