I just saw my doctor today for a med check-in...She asked how my OCD was, and well, it's definitely a lot better, so is my general anxiety, and I'm sleeping better than I was before...And then she asked the percentage, and I was like, I don't know, maybe 25%...So she decided to up my dose from 20mg to 40mg.

First of all...When I said 25%, it was a number, just to give her an answer. I'm sick right now, and I really have no idea. My brain isn't quite functioning right. Maybe 25% is right, maybe it's mot, but there is a definite difference in my behavior.

Second of all...When I first started taking Prozac, I had horrid side-effects. I was super tired all the time, couldn't eat...And my doctor said that'll probably happen again with upping the dosage. I don't want to go through that again.

Third of all...Right now is a bad time to experiment with meds. Tomorrow is the last day of school, I have the ACT on Saturday, and finals all of next week! I can't be whacked out or feeling sick or whatever for that stuff.

I'm supposed to go back and see my doctor in 2 weeks to check in again...But I really don't want to change my dose. Should I just keep taking what I've been taking and not change yet? I'm thinking that I can just tell her that I hate the 40mg dose and I want to go back, right? I mean, I'm the one with the problem and the meds, so I can choose, right?

I don't know.

Thanks.
