Has anything else: changed in your life? Any losses, illnesses in your family? Other stresses? Sometimes antidepressants need to be changed, other times it is due to life stress and psychotherapy may need to be added to the therapeutic mix.

Dose?: You may need an increase in dose of Prozac (fluoxetine) up to max 80 mg/d. Add cognitive behavioral therapy if not already doing so

Please see your Psychiatrist for an evaluation of your medication. Have a physical examination to know if your symptoms are from a physical illness. A Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy can help. If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist please see another for a second opinion
