    Hey just curious I was 1 week into 60 and my anxiety which hasnt been under control the whole time was throufh the roof very depressed and crying and not have nice thoughts I literally felt like I was loosing my mind..if you get what i mean. So the next day I took no prozac and 2 days of 20mg and today I have taken 30mg. I am really starting to wonder if this drug is for me or not as I still have to take a benzo twice a day since starting prozac on the 26 dec 17. Curious to know what your story is if that ok. I was on paxil for 21yrs no anxiety or depression (not out of the norm anyway) unfortunately it stopped working 7mths ago so it been 7mths of hell can't function havent been back to work since starting prozac.
