Just seeking some general advice about Prozac which my GP has prescribed for me today but I am in a dilemma about whether to start taking it or whether or try and keep plodding on without it. I was on Dothiepin until October when I was taken off it after some medical news about it causing heart problems. A few years ago I took Seroxat but the GP has recommended Prozac. As always I'm scared about the side effects. I currently take Propanalol and very occasionally Lorazepam. Have recently had a blip in the panic attacks returning after quite a long time of having no problems at all. I've rejoined the gym today and am finding yoga lessons to join as I want to do as much as I can to help myself. However I'm now debating whether to start these tablets or not? Historically I tend to fall into a bout of depression after a series of panic attacks and I have been trying to avoid this happening. However I dont want to make myself worse in the short term after reading some scare stories about Prozac ...any advice?
