I have taken Prozac 10mg in tablet form for a year already. In February, I started taking 15 mg because I called my doctor and he told me to increase it for anxiety. I'm now taking 20mg since a week ago because I'm dealing with college and anxiety. Does it make a difference since I increased it? how many weeks would it take to work?

Since you were already on 15mg the increase should kick in within just a few days.

hi. 20mgs used to be the starting dose, I think. I'm glad you were started at a lower dosage. give it a little while. the drugs go to work in the brain quickly, but it can take a while for changes in brain chemistry to = changes in mood and behavior. just try to be patient, if you can.
