I weened off 20mg fluxeautine starting in December and ending in May when I had a really bad panic attack. I began taking one pill every 4 days and eventually every two weeks. Then all hell broke loose! I immediately went on a 20 mg flux regiment and it has been 7 weeks so far. The first 2-3 weeks were horrible. Recently I have been taking 1mg clonozaepam every 6 days or so to take the edge off and help me sleep at nights. I just feel it should be working better by now. When I started Prozac I was in a good place within 3-4 weeks. I had the best year of my life while on it and I just didn't want to be on it anymore. I quit and then deployed to a different country thinking some time away from family would be the best time to really stop the pills. I guess I was wrong. I was only on Prozac for a year before this so it's weird to me that it's not working the same after a short time off. I am desperately searching for answers. Why do I feel "ok" for 6 days after taking my clonozaepam. I know it has a long half life but i doubt it's working for me that long. Ha anyone dealt with this or have some advice? Should I try Zoloft? Stay the course on Prozac? Up my dosage? I just want to be the same old father, husband and friend I was earlier this year. Please help!

Just wanted to let you all know that I have made it back to a place where I can see a doctor. I saw my GP and he recommended going up to 40mg starting today. He also gave me clonozaepam .50mg to help deal with the anxiety. I just hope this works. Today has been the worst day in a while. I took .50 clonozaepam to help deal with it but I just feel so defeated every time I do that. In the past 3 days I haven't slept much at all. I'm sure that adding to it. The doc gave me some ambien but I'll be damned if I'm going to start that... I have never dealt with something like this in my life. I was kind of disappointed that he didn't switch me to Zoloft or something but I'm praying the Prozac will kick in soon. He assured me it would. i just want to thank you all for commenting and helping me with this. I can't wait until I'm better so I can help others as you are helping me!
