Hello, Trish, I've had Panic Attacks for almost 40 years myself (See Bosher's Blog in the Prozac Thread). I've had almost every drug known to medicine, and recently my GP got me onto Prozac. You can't believe the difference it's made. My anxiety is almost nil at the moment, and over the next few weeks I'm going to be pushing out a bit further to see what happens. And yes, after my Panic Attacks, I would be wiped out all day too. It's not funny. Good luck. :hugs:

anxiety totally wipes me out. I have started on fluoxetine - again - and after 5 weeks my anxiety is manageable. By that I mean i am tired again today and bit anxious but have none of the physical symptoms which seem to exhaust me.:)
