Restarting Prozac - acute anxiety
I have a long history of anxiety and depression. Been taking Prozac 10-20 mg and previously Venlafaxine 75 mg. This spring wanted to quit Prozac, dropped it to 5 mg and after a month or two, my depression and anxiety hit hard again. Five days ago increased Prozac back to 20 mg but now feeling super anxious and very guilty of not being able to work. I've had crying spells and panic attacks. How long am I supposed to wait for the relive and what can I do meanwhile? Should I stay on meds lifelong?
