D.S.,

In your other thread on this I asked what your doctor's recommendation is...?

I also posted a link for shutting down a panic attack. Did you try it, and find it helpful?

Keep using your coping skills and talk with your dr. if you've not done so yet.

Sorry this has continued to be rough...hopefully with your docs guidance you can come up with a plan that helps soon.

S.C.

Hi

i would go back and speak with your doctor.

Prozac can take 8 weeks to fully kick in but you may need a dose increase or a change but talk things through with your doctor.

I did not start to feel better until I went upto 60mg.

i would say talk to your doc but i would also say dont give up yet
i still felt like **** on lexapro (different drug but similar) after 5 weeks but i kept with it and it did me well for 13 years.

For me it took about 10 weeks before i really felt an improvement
