this anxiety is torture. It makes my depression worse. Just want to cry all the time. I don't want to live like this. I'm afraid of becoming addicted to the clonazepam and then having another problem to deal with. This is so hard on my family. I don't want to go on like this. What if nothing helps to make me better. I feel so alone and scared.

Laurie hang on in there love it will get better I promise you. I wasn't on your names medication but I was on fluoxetine for almost 2 years and I am now off all medication (after some awful withdrawals) and I'm doing so much better now.
This is just a little bump in your journey in life just stay positive and take each day as it comes. The more you think of the big picture the bigger the problem seems.
Slowly slowly you will get better, big hugs x x
While going through this adjustment phase its important to remember that you will go through phases and they are unpredictable. If you can get meds for the symptoms, take them. But only for a limited time so you don't have to experience withdrawal. It will get better with time. You have to have hope and be thankful for each day that you are still alive even though you may be miserable it's another day with your family.
Laurie: So sorry to hear of your torture! I felt the same way and tried to stay with the Prozac 20 MG for l0 weeks. After 13 days of non stop anxiety, shaking, sweating, and misery, it got a little better but not much! SO for the whole l0 weeks, the misery continued. Finally saw a new doctor and she stopped the Prozac 20 MG!
Am now taking Elavil l0 MG at night and it helps me to sleep. The insomnia was awful with the Prozac! I have a nerve disorder that is being treated by altering my brain with these medications! Prozac 20 MG made me crazy, completely unable to function normally!
What works for some does not work for others! If you are not getting any results or feeling any better, see the doctor or find a new doctor who cares enough to really help you. There are some wonderful doctors, but, there are some who just want to give you a pill and get you out of their site! Sorry, but this is true!
Please try your best to continue to function and know that someday you will pull yourself out of this situation! We all have trials, some of us more than others! I have never been depressed so cannot really sympathize with you there, but, the anxiety is bad enough and the Prozac made it many many times worse!
My best to you in your journey. Keep trying to get better and know that people do care about you! My prayers are with you!
