I would suggest changing meds and trying something new, it’s been given ample time to work with no positive effects yet. If it helped to a small degree I would say increase the dose, but if you’ve had no change or it’s made you feel worse it’s not the one. Feel free to ask me any questions I’ve taken a fair few types of meds

I’ve never been on Prozac but I’ve tried buspar, Zoloft, and celexa. Sadly nothing has really helped my MDD but zoloft did really help my anxiety (I have OCD and GAD). hydroxyzine helped me Immensely as well

Definitely bring it up with your psychiatrist! I’m not currently on prozac, but I’ve dealt with it and a bunch of different meds in the past that weren’t helping me when I needed them the most. Your psychiatrist might ask you if you want to keep on it or change meds, and that would be completely up to you.
