MG,
I've been on Prozac for three years, 20mg for PMS. OOOOO I wasn't so nice during the week before my cycle. I was nervous also, but WOW! when my first cycle came, I was myself still!
Are you sure your headaches aren't stress related to the uncomfortableness of taking meds? Some people need to adapt to a lower dose.
I agree to keep you doctor abreast of your symptoms, but I also know Prozac takes 3 months to have it's full effect.
My partener couldn't feel the difference when he was prescibed prozac for his mild depression for a time (and he is also a recovery alchoholic (23 years!)But the children and I saw the differnce, and let him know. Also his occasional dry drunks didn't happen.
One other thing, I was stressed at work so I went in to see if an increase would help. I went up to 30mg, way toooo much. I became even more anxious. I let my doc know and she put me back tothe original dose immeadiatly.
But there are other drug options out their.
Good luck. <img border="0" alt="[angel]" title="" src="graemlins/../graemlins/angel2.gif" />
