Hello folks

Well after suffering with anxiety for 5 years I am finally going to take a SSRI, however I do want to make sure my Doctor is advising the right coarse of action.

He is recommending Prozac

So here is a run down of my condition over the past 5 years


I first got anxiety back around 2003, it was like a complete breakdown, just fealt like I couldnt cope with life, got CBT it actually went for about a year when the same thing happened again

2005 Another breakdown type anxiety period for months, this time I was obsessed I was going made, monitoring thoughts, sounds

2007 Another breakdown type anxiety period which lasted for months, this time I had a phobia about choking, and lost 2 stone in a matter of months from only eatting soft foods.

Couldnt walk past a table with coin's on it , afraid of small objects that could go into my mouth.

2008 Anxiety comes back in the form of health anxiety, i am monitoring my head, neck , eyes, getting eye all start because I got a symptom of being off balance, which comes and goes

I dont really get panic attacks, just prelonged anxiety.

Reading all the above makes me feel so sad, its been just a long journey.

Is prozac the route for me or should i be considering something else?
