About Me

GAD my whole life but didn\'t know it had a name. I was just a \"worrier.\" Severe post-partum depression and anxiety after my daughter was born February 2010. Was put on Prozac and Clonazepam. Clonazepam made me feel drugged but calmer. It also gave me severe dizziness where the room would spin. I only found out after I had been to a neurologist, and then was about to take a test for vertigo. I stopped the Clonazepam and never had dizziness again. Remained on the Prozac alone until a year ago when I was going through a divorce. Psych added Xanax which I respond well to. 4 months ago we made the choice to wean off Prozac and only use Xanax when needed, which at that point felt like I would never need again. And now...severe panic attacks are back, and I am depressed. That\'s why I came here to help me get support while I wait for an appointment with a new psych in a few days. I\'m wondering if I never should have gotten off the Prozac. I am using the Xanax to survive each moment but I have never need a whole tablet until now. I am very frightened.
