Suffering from severe postpartum anxiety. have been on 20mg prozac (fluoxetine) for 5.5 weeks. should i up the dose to 40 yet or wait? my primary doc says i can double now, but i'm scared of side effects.

Complicated: Consider some post-partum psychotherapy. There are many w/ this problem and a specialist can help! It may avoid drugs so nursing is safer. If you're scared - don't do it. Your fears alone will counteract the effects. Talk to your OBGYN for a good referral to therapy (there might be a group). Primary doctors may not up the best for either of these issues. Congrats and take care!
