However, I feel a little freaked out since I started it. I am just full of nervousness, and I go back and forth being irritable and somewhat combative to feeling almost giddy. Initially, I started taking it before bed, but now I take it when I wake up.
I experience moderate but CONSTANT anxiety all day every day, particularly if I have to be around other people. My psychiatrist suggested that I bring it back down to 20 mg over the next week, and see if it improves over the next couple of weeks.
Does anyone here have experience with Prozac and anxiety disorders? Or with OCD, which comes up for me a little now and again?
Any help/suggestions/experience is tremendously appreciated!!  |
What about some klonopin for the anxiety? Zoloft helped me much more than prozac for the anxiety, but that's just me. I also have OCD which the zoloft helps curb, although I get breakthrough intrusive thought obsessions, so then I take klonopin.
