Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi Dr. Geller, Could an increase in my daughters Prozac cause more anxiety and a worsening of symptoms? My 10-year-old daughter was diagnosed with OCD, ADHD when she was 5 years old. She was started on Prozac and had done very well with it until recently when we noticed her symptoms getting worse. Her psychiatrist increased the dose to 20 mg (from 15mg) in April. We waited three months but she has experienced a much higher level of anxiety and OCD symptoms. Now we don't know if this is caused by the increase, or perhaps maybe she needs another increase?? We are very confused and tempted to take her back down to 15 (just waiting for her psychiatrist to get back to us, which takes weeks!) Thank you in advance for any information.
