Anybody ever feel like your heightened anxiety or alittle depressed when starting meds?

Everything was pretty good for awhile, and then all of a sudden my boyfriend and I broke up. I felt alright kinda sad for a day. It's been about two weeks. The dr suggested that I start the Prozac again, 20 mg. It's been about a week, I feel like my anxietys kinda heightened especially when I'm at home and not doing much, and kinda depressed alittle too, can this just be the medicine adjusting ? I hope that's all it is . :/

I’m dealing with the same thing. Doctor just increased my antidepressant from 5 to 10 mg and I feel like my anxiety has definitely a little worse. I’m thinking because my body is adjusting
