I've read about your terrible experience with Prozac, Phillipa. Mine was very similar.. it was the first psych med I ever took and I wound up in the ER with severe panic attacks - the experience was so scary that I refused to take any meds for years.
This was almost 10 years ago, since then I've become somewhat jaded and pretty savvy when it comes to dealing with side effects. I've found that, though intense, the Prozac startup anxiety is pretty short-lived and manageable.
Anyway, good luck with your experiment - keep us posted :)
> At one time was prescribed 12.5 of luvox and 2.5 of paxil and it was okay. I think custom meds is a great idea. I might try lowering 50 of luvox tonight and know must have a bottle of prozac take a smidgen of it too. Phillipa
