New to Prozac
After suffering with panic disorder for most of my adult life, I had not had a full blown panic attack in many years. Recently my primary care physician prescribed 20mg cymbalta to help me through recent heightened anxiety. After three days on it I could feel my anxiety rising and ended up having a terrible, full blown panic attack that evening. I immediately stopped taking it. I’m very susceptible to the normal side effects of SSRI’s.
A psychiatrist has now prescribed 10mg Prozac daily with instructions to halve or quarter the tablet to ease any possible side effects. But I’m still terrified to start it.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with Prozac? Anyone have any real success with therapy?
After that one full blown panic attack I feel like I’m on the verge of another one constantly. I’ve been taking about .125 mg of Xanax every few hours to ward off anxiety/panic attacks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
