I'm just wondering what everyone's views are on Prozac for Health Anxiety. Doctor said he would prescribe but would like me to try counselling first due to side affects of Prozac. Councellor waiting list is months, so this is not a realistic option.
I spend nearly all day every day experiencing major health anxiety, Googling symptoms etc, thinking I have brain tumour, going blind (floaters), it's ruining my life. Will Prozac really help my anxiety, and stop my mind from constantly thinking about all these possible major health problems, thinking I'm going to die etc? And what are the major side effects? would appreciate any advice from anyone who has experience with it
