It's good to be reminded that the anxiety and restlessness get better. I tried to take Neurontin to mitigate the Prozac symptoms. It helped *slightly* with the anxiety, but made the resslessness worse...like Restless Leg Syndrome throughout the whole body. Hard to sleep at night...tired all day, etc. I just need a couple day break to let my blood levels go down a bit.

hope this helps-I had a GP tell me that I was full of sh*t that I could control most of my symptoms with 20mg of Prozac a week-but it did.Mitch
