Hi all, I had 4.5 lovely years on Prozac and for some strange reason I decided to come off. Big mistake as after a few months the same anxiety and depression is back.

I have tried to help myself by accepting the anxiety and depression (Claire Weeks self help for your nerves) with some progress. I actually overcame the anxiety but have run out of energy and am starting to feel pretty desperate. I think it’s impatience that has got to me as I want to be better now rather than have to wait weeks for it. I have been taking St Johns wort over the last 3 weeks though (284 mg for 2.5 weeks and I am now taking double that but I am getting frustrated with that too). So now I am deciding to take Prozac as I know it has worked before.

I am a bit worried about the serotonin syndrome and so I am going to take only 284mg of SJW today and then Prozac the following day.

I will keep anyone posted on how I am doing as I realise that this is a strange situation.
