A lot of what you describe as Prozac side effects sounds to me like worsening anxiety disorder. My personal opinion is that SSRIs are wretched for anxiety- they don't do much for depression either. Prozac is notorious for just sitting down and quitting. Gracie2 is right about doctors, and you need new ones who are up on contemporary treatment. There is a new idea that severe anxiety disorders are a "slow seizure" thing, they think the same about bipolar. I have the same stuff as you do and take an anti seizure drug called Trileptal. It stops a lot of the worst symptoms, I still use a low dose of Valium but the GERD, the shakes, palpitations are all anxiety/panic stuff.
Check out < www.algy.com/pdi > This is a site belonging to a doctor specialized in panic and I think you'll find it enlightening. I did. Read all the FAQs.
For gods sakes, get a decent doctor. You've really been jerked around. You can get much better.missliz
