I started taking Prozac 20mg generic on Thursday. At first it helped. I could finally walk over manhole covers and step on gum patches. Then it lost it's effectiveness. I can step on gum patches, but I avoid manhole covers. If I walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk, I have to walk back and walk on the right side of the sidewalk. Though I spend less time walking back and forth, debating where to walk and my thoughts are not as distressing. Hopefully I will increase the dose at the next appointment. I still have embarrassing compulsions which take up a significant amount of my time which I want to get rid of completely.
