Last 4 days had been good no anxiety, sleeping okish, been like normal days. Today is my last day of week 8 and I slept ok woke up ok and then all of a sudden boom anxiety it doesn’t go into a full panic but I’m feeling very anxious still, tired and nauseous. I increased from 20-40 almost 9 weeks ago after being on 20 for almost 10 years and it’s been a roller coaster but I honestly thought 4 days ago yes this might be the turning point and then today happened

Hi everyone after some support so I was on fluoxetine which is called Prozac for 10years at 20mg for panic disorder anxiety everything was great until 8 weeks ago like it randomly stopped working and was having panic attacks again so the psychiatrist at the hospital increased me to 40mg straight away so a 100% increase. It’s been very rocky I’ve had maybe 2.5 weeks of good out of the 8 weeks I have been on the increase anxiety/morning anxiety comes and goes but the migraines, fatigue, nausea, insomnia has been really bad. I have spoken to my dr about decreasing to 35mg and then to 30 as a slow taper to see if that helps as I’m not sure if I’m on too much at 40. Has anyone had similar side effects and decreased and be good? I’m so scared to decrease because it’s affecting my work, parenting and over all health and I don’t want it to get worse. I’m also in Australia
