Did the psychiatrist discuss whether the behavior might be associated with the Prozac?
I have previously taken SSRIs and had bad experiences with them. I found CBT and similar approaches much more helpful, but that obviously depends on what one needs help with. I think sometimes there is a tendency to dismiss side effects that are worth taking seriously. That type of medication can cause emotional instability, unfortunately.
It is possible to have behavioral changes with media Atkins like that, though, and I think the psychiatrist should discuss them seriously with you. It sounds as though your concerns are reasonable. Other SSRIs may do the same thing or they may not.
I think it is very fair to want to discuss this more and feel confident about the decision about what to do next.
