Sounds like a plan, however, don't be a martyr. If you need to take Xanax then do so.

As per your info, and others, i'm going to give the Fluox at least 2 more weeks before I consider any dosage change at this point as I'm only into day 2 of week 4...
Cool. Fingers crossed that you begin to see a positive result soon.

I do have a stressful job (emergency services) , so just going into work raises my anxiety before I even begin
Is there a career pathway to a less stressful part of the service? I appreciate the personal rewards of these jobs, but you shouldn't sacrifice your well-being helping others.
