In reply to prozac induced panic.....AHHHHHHH, posted by gilbert on June 5, 2001, at 20:01:21
> Should I continue to torture myself and contnue to take prozac for panic and ocd when the darn pills at 5 mg doses are giving me little mini panic attacks all day so much so thAT i HAVE HAD TO TAKE TWICE THE XANAX i NORMALLY DO. I was kind of hoping that I could quit the xanax because the prozac was going to calm me down and level me out after a while. My pdoc wants me to go to 10 mg by sunday. I am not eager to jump from 5 to 10 with this shit going on. I finally realized why there is prozac in the water supply....It isn't from peoples urine as speculated...It's from people flushing the unwanted scripts down the toilet.

When I first started Paxil for panic I was fine. But when it pooped out and I tried other ADs I seemed to be hypersensitive to them. Prozac brought out the worst panic attacks I've ever had - but it is known for being initially agitating. I went back to Paxil, but it didn't work nearly as well. I am now on Zoloft 50mg (for 3 weeks) - and had really bad panic attacks on that too but they now seem to be subsiding. Maybe Prozac isn't the one for you - is there something else you can try? (I'm sure someone else on this board can recommend other medications).
