Been on citalopram for 10+ years for anxiety, came off them and switched to sertraline as I felt I had plateaud, stopped the sertraline after a week as the side effects were horrendous, would rather be dead than feel like that, due to start prozac monday, in the meantime I have been given 2mg 3x daily of diazepam, and they are not touching the anxiety.....any ideas??
go back on citalopram was there a reason you had 2 come of them x
I just felt they were not helping my anxiety anymore redmarigolds, I am now terrified of taking any more SSSI's because of the side effects, currently waiting for NHS 24 to call me back as I called to ask if I could increase the dose of the diazepam
Sorry, SSRI's x
Prozac can be effective but it takes a little time and titration until you feel the full positive effects. I'm slowly titrating up on it as I'm switching from another AD drug. I feel a tiny bit of improvement which is a good sign.
Ty Jim, can I ask what dose you are on? x
20 mgs prozac. Small dose. Have to further reduce venalfaxine so I can increase prozac to something more effective. Hoping higher dose will do the trick.
I am due to start prozac on Monday, dreading the initial side effects as it gets into my system...
How are you feeling today?
pretty much the same arwen, kinda woozy with the diazepam right now x
