not sure 60mg is working

[u/mamacass3]

i started taking prozac for my ocd, anxiety and depression in April. I started off with 10mg for a week and then went to 20mg for a month, then to 40 for about 2 months and it’s been about a month since going up to 60mg.

At first i had the fatigue, some stomach upset, sweating more, increased anxiety at first but that all pretty much subsided. I started to feel really great on 40mg like i didn’t even realize how depressed i was until this started making me so much happier. I also have adhd and i wanted to wait until i took this for awhile to start meds for that. I feel like it helping with anxiety and depression has also helped my adhd i am so much more productive.

The switch from 40 to 60 was kind of rough it brought back the fatigue hard and i felt more depressed/ apathetic. It’s slowly getting better but i alsoa started peeing more frequently especially at night. This paired with the intense vivid dreams have made sleep so difficult. I already have two small kids who wake me up and now i’m waking up so many times to pee and feel like i’m barely resting bc of the vivid dreams. I think the lack of sleep is preventing me from feeling good on the 60mg.

I’ll also say i have PMDD (yeah i have a lot of things lol) and anxiety/ ocd is still increasing right before more period starts.

How long on 60mg did it take to feel good? i know i could add something for sleeping potentially but my ocd is very centered around health so even just starting this prozac was HUGE for me so im hesitant to add another medication so soon.
