Anxiety and depression... help!

[rascali]

Hi, I'm new... looking x support and somewhat help to control my illness situation. I had so much stress since my divorce (20 years ago), then moved to this country away from family and friends. I'm taking alprozolam daily, but my doctor want me to switch to prozac. I read that this drug is for depression. Scare me to think that it cannot helps when i have panic attacks. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there. Your doctor is right. Prozac, as well as other SSRIs, has been prescribed for panic disorder for quite some time now, as well as being used to treat depression.
