Hi
I was on Aropax (Seroxat in UK, Paxil in US) for 10 years for panic disorder and it worked brilliantly at first. After a few years the effectiveness seem to wear down (poop-out is the technical term I think :winks:) Anyway, hubby and I are thinking of starting a family and after two (spectaculary) failed attempts to get off the Aropax have accepted that I'd have to do it on some kind of med. So my psych doc tapered me onto Prozac which is considered safer in pregnancy. I've been on it for almost 3 months now and I feel constantly wired, like I've been drinking continuous coffee. I just can't relax. Psych has mentioned Zoloft, but I'm wondering if that is going to have me feeling the same. I was wondering if anyone had had success after Prozac didn't work?
Thanks
