10 mg prozac not enough?

[beez721]

 Ive been taking 10mg of prozac for the past month while weaning off effexor. just got down to 37.5 effexor yesterday. I was feeling much better for the last 2 weeks until last night. since last night Ive had awful anxiety,,no appetitie,,shivers,,sweating etc. Im wondering if it could be because its such a low dose of prozac? or maybe its because of the effexor. I wont see my doc for a while so just hoping for opinions. I hate feeling like this

Even though you won't see your doctor, it never hurts to call and make sure things are going according to plan.  When I got off Paxil the first time I went through 4-5 days of crazy side effects.  It was so horrible - just like you described.  I told myself I would never take Paxil again.  Here I am on Paxil about 1 1/2 years later.  Good luck.  Make the call!

Hang in there, your body is adjusting to the meds.  10 mg of Prozac is a very low dose and it takes a while to start working.  You should start feeling better soon.  Try using a journal and write down how you feel each day.  You may not feel the progress but when you look back in your journal you will be able to see it.

Best of luck,

Journaling is the best! It really des one good to look back. Thats a healing method all in of itself. I was on PROZAC at one point and it took 60mgs a day before I was normal, or as normal gets.
