I am taking prozac and although i have not been religious about taking it i feel it is not working anymore... i have taken it everyday for four weeks straight and i just dont feel the confidence and the calm feeling i felt before on it. i want to talk to my doc about other more natural solutions. i dont want to be tied to drugs the rest of my life as i suck at taking them and pharmisutic drugs make me nervous. What do yall take and or do to calm yourselves. I have three kids and a husband on deployment so the stress levels are through the roof right now. I am so over the panic attacks and overall just feel like crap and depressed. I want a quick fix i guess thats what i am looking for.

It takes at least 4 weeks for Prozac to start working. You might need to talk to your doctor about increasing the dose.

I found that the Prozac only goes so far. A low dose Xanax is needed for me if I feel the anxiety attacking me. I can feel it coming on

Prozac never cut it for me. I've never heard of anything OTC that works. For most of us it's how we are put together and we've just got imbalances and need a little help.

Do you live on base? Check with family services to see if they have any help.

prozac may have just run its course with me. I have taken it for two years... i am very intolerant to medication and it scares me to take high doses... ie if i take two extra strength tylenole i am out for the count. i dont understand it but that fits real well with my life lol i will make an appointment with my doc when my prescription is gone and i will discuss options with her.

I was on 10 mg of prozac for years and my dr just increased it to 20 mg once a day, it seems to work for me and also helps me with pain. We are all different so I'm hoping you can find something that helps you. Madelo that supplement I think you were talking about is St Johns Wart but you must not take it if you are on another antidepressant... or so I have read.
