Hello,
Prozac is an selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor which is used as an antidepressant and antianxiety medicine.
As you have mentioned that you had symptoms of anxiety, insomnia and moodiness which improved with prozac, this suggest that you had an anxiety or depressive disorder.
Now when you having same symptoms, this means that your illness is returning.
This is an indication to increase the dose of prozac to 20mg.
I must also tell you that DONOT take this drug in evening as it can cause insomnia. Always take tgis drug in morning.
Thanks.
