I havent heard of this.. ( i've taken prozac before).. but you best bet, it to talk to your pharmacist. They are very well educated in all drugs and know every interaction! --

My suggestion, if you feel safe doing so.. and are not having SI's .. talk to you dr about weaning off of it, or stop taking it for a few days.. and see what happens? See if it makes a difference?

P.s When do they not look at us like we are crazy!! =)

lol exactly I want to wean off of it I am suppose to go back to my gp in a few months just for a check up on all of this but we are going to disney world and I have finally stopped having panic attacks and do not want to rock the boat. I wanted to wait till after disney to wean off the medicine or ask the doctor to wean me off...I just really want to enjoy disney world this time

How often is your Anxiety-- that you are taking Prozac? Would you be willing to try something else like busbar or something like Xanax / Klonipin ( as needed) ?

I totally understand you want to enjoy your vaca! .. I live 2 hrs from Disney. You'll love it. You'll have to try the new app -- if you have an I-phone ? Its supposed to help you get around the park and tell you ride wait times. It looked really cool!

I have bad bad anxiety, but its not 24/7 .. so I'd prefer to just taking something when I feel the panic attack coming on. Like Xanax or Klonipin. However some of these drugs are Vaso-Dialators which consict the blood vessels in the brain, and do cause head aches.

well the doctor gave me buspar to take as well but I was reading the side effects and never took it, and was using a natural thing but I only use those sometimes. I was having them almost daily and super bad ones a few times a week. It literally ruined the last time we went to disney I was in the hotel room most of the time! xanax she does not waning me to take because its so addictive and she doesnt want me to go down that road...she talked about another anti depresant but I have alot of stomach problems and prozac seems to not have as many stomach problems as other medicines. she pushed prozac for a while before I had even gotten my panic attacks when I had gained 100lbs in like 5 months or less

Busbar isnt bad. I take to stablize my moods.. and it helps me not have anxiety. The worst side effect ive had was alittle dizziness.

Id much rather take that than Prozac.

As far as Benzo's go. Its kind of like Narcotics. They CAN be addictive. If you have an addictive personality. I have been on them for almost 3 years ( as needed) . I have worried about becoming dependent on them too. I am prescibed 4 a day, but I rarely even take them once a day, I can go several days without taking them at all.. I take them AS NEEDED.


Its all about self control. Just as it is with pain meds.
I think you might be better off going to see a Phychatrist to handel your meds.. ( just a suggestion) .. I have been down this road many times before.. and when I was seeing the GP.. i found that they werent as knowldgeable , and didnt listen to my concerns, like the Phych doctors do.

I should have real health insurance any day now so I may go to a phych...I really feel like my anxiety was a physical thing not a mental thing I really still do. I cut out all dairy a few months back and have not had a panic attack since so maybe thats what was triggering it
