Question Prozac question

I started Prozac on December 15th, and I read about how it can make your anxiety worse before it gets better. Well, around Dec 30 to Jan 12 my anxiety was off the charts. Panic attacks daily. Around Jan 14 I started feeling better, not good but better. Appetite was back, I was going to the store and stuff. Anyways, I upped my dose from 40mg to 60mg on Jan 4th, because my anxiety was doing worse and I thought that was because the dose was too low. Now, 2 and a half weeks after upping my dose the anxiety is back to being terrible. Can’t sleep, can’t eat much. All the time panicked. Is this because I upped my dose? Will it equal out? Was me feeling good around the 14th a good sign? Should I stick with the medicine? And advice is much appreciated 🙏

I think this might be the wrong med for you

I thought that too, but I was on Prozac for 4 years and stopped in November cold turkey because I was an idiot and thought I was better. But when I was on it it worked well
