Is it worth taking a higher dose of Fluoxetin Polpharma, which I have spontaneously increased, or not risk and go back to 20 mg?

Hi I would like to ask you something. For half a year (maybe a little longer) I take fluoxetin polpharma 20 mg (previously I took seronil) everything was fine, fears and panic attacks were not bothersome and I felt quite good. Unfortunately, my well-being has deteriorated for some time. I feel like the 20 mg dose has stopped working and everything is back. I found that I would gradually increase my dose to 40 mg. Therefore, I just want to ask if it is worth taking a higher dose and watching how I will feel or not to risk and go back to 20 mg?

W przypadku pogorszenia samopoczucia powinna Pani skontaktować się z psychiatrą, a nie zwiększać samodzielnie dawkę leku. Przypuszczam, że sama ma Pani tego typu przekonanie - stąd Pani pytanie :) Skoro jednak już przyjmuje Pani dawkę 40 mg od jakiegoś znaczącego okresu czasu (opisała Pani, że zwiększała Pani stopniowo), to jest to najwyższy czas na konsultację z lekarzem i omówienie tej sytuacji. Być może jednak lekarz zaleci pozostanie przy niej, jednak jak już wspomniałam warunkiem bezpieczeństwa takiej terapii jest nadzór psychiatry, Farmaceuta nie ma kompetencji - podobnie jak pacjent - aby kierować leczeniem schorzeń psychicznych, zmieniać leki czy modyfikować ich dawki.
