Hi
I am looking for some med advice for pretty bad anxiety.
I have suffered for many years with depression and anxiety, and have tried differnt meds at times. I have recently had a really bad episode to the point of not going out and coping at all. The anxiety and depression has become very severe. I was put on Citalopram, though I asked for Ecitalopram but the Doc said that trials had shown that there is no difference between the two?! Anyway, the Citalopram made me feel really 'out of it' and quite unwell, so after 1 week I was taken off them, and put on Prozac (again), and I have been on these before.
I have been on Prozac for only one week now. My main question is.... can Prozac help with anxiety, as I know it can make anxiety worse for some. I know there are variations and it takes time to work, but I am feeling incredibly anxious and need something that helps more on the anxiety front ? I will stay on Prozac if there is a chance it can help with this, as I don't get so many side effects, but don't want to be taking it if it is just a not a good idea for anxiety? i have also been on Seroxat and Effexor in the past, but didn't like them due to side effects.
Cheers
