Hi there!
I have been reading some of the threads about Prozac and some make me hopeful while others make me more anxious!
I have had a recent surge of pretty bad anxiety, namely health anxiety. After exhausting rounds of tests that have ruled out heart problem, lung issue, etc. I am taking the plunge with some meds. My anxiety has started to result in some depression, OCD type behavior, and social anxiety so I think Prozac may be a good fit for me.
Dr is starting me at 10mg. I know this is a low dose so I am hoping that means the side effects will be a little less? I have Xanax in case of an initial increase in anxiety. Any advice?
I put a call into a therapist to start that as well and have taken some steps to reduce stress in my life which is what I think triggered all this. I know that there have to be multiple approaches to combating anxiety.
Thanks so much!! :yesyes:
