Prozac and similar drugs might help you, but it really depends on your body!. As well as which drug, you might need a higher dose, so see an expencienced psychiatrist and be prepared to experiment with different drugs/dosages under their direction!. I had to do thIs for over a year and try 4 different drugs before getting real relief from OCD, depression and anxiety rather than just side effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, Prozac as well as many other drugs in the SSRI(Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) category work for treating anxiety!. Ask your doctor whether it would be ok to switch to an SSRI for anxiety!. Prozac can be bought generically and so you can get it at Walmart w/ their 4 dollar prescription program!. I believe there are a few others that do also!. Ask your local pharmacy and then give a list to your doctor to see if any of those would be right for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If the doctor ordered Ativan, then take it as prescribed!. Prozac never helped me with anything especially anxiety/panic!. Take the Ativan and see if it reduces your anxiety or not!. If you don't take it, you won't know if it works for your anxiety/panic!. Many drugs are addictive!. If you fear you will become addicted to Ativan, talk to your doctor, but NOT before you TAKE it and say it doesn't work!. Your doctor is the best judge for your medications and it may take several meds before your dr!. finds the right one to help you with your panic/anxiety!. Follow the doctor's orders since that is what you paid him for!.!.!.!.his expertise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
good question, it's good to research meds and not JUST AGREE with what the doctors give you!.
I have tried many different meds at one time or another!.
I found Zoloft 200mgs a day to work best!. I think that's the max dosage!.
I have some family members who take Lexapro and Celexa and feel successful on them (I think they're more for depression)!.
I believe Zoloft is more for anxiety than depression!.
It also helps me control my OCD symptoms as well :)
Prozac is a strong anti-depressant!. I wouldn't recommend!.
Paxil is another good one, mostly for social anxiety/panic disorders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just like benzos (ativan) anti-depressants (Prozac) are also addictive both physically and mentally
while anti-depressants can relieve some anxiety benzos are much more effective but keep in mind that there are also other anti-anxiety medications such as buspirone which doesn't have the dependence that comes with benzosWww@Answer-Health@Com
