PROZAC FOR OCD

I have a question. I am new to this site. I had been on Prozac for about 9 years and it was wonderful. It almost totally alleviated all of my OCD symptoms. Well, I was incredibly stupid and thought I no longer needed medication and weaned off of Prozac last October. Needless to say, my OCD came back full force (worse this time around) in March of this year. I honestly thought I was going to die. Well, after a try on Lexapro which made me tired and more depressed I went back on Prozac. I started on 20 mg eight weeks ago, went up to 40 mg six weeks ago, and now have been on 60 mg for 2 1/2 weeks. The last time I was on Prozac 40 mg the entire time. Well, I am really scared. Sometimes I feel like I am feeling better and at other times I feel awful. I know increasing the dose brings increased anxiety, etc., but should I wait with the 60 mg for an extended period of time or do you think Prozac is not working for me this time????
I want this to work again so badly. I know the meds work because it worked for 9 years. I also know I can feel better because I did feel great. Please help me!!!!!!

That's one of the problems with these drugs. If you go off them, sometimes they don't help as well if you go back on them. I experienced this with Anafranil. Perhaps you just need to be on them a little longer this time for it to work, even if at a higher dose.

Fortunately, there are also other medications you can try, if Prozac doesn't work for you (enough) anymore. And you didn't mention side effects, but some drugs may have fewer side effects for you, if that's a problem.
