Prozac + Xanax XR has been a big help for me.
Let's call it a 70% improvement which has lasted approx 2 yrs. I was at 20mg Proz daily and 0.5mg Xanax XR 3 times daily. Over the last year I've tapered back to 20mg Proz every other day and .5mg Xanax XR @ bedtime. But several trials to eliminate the Proz completely have not gone well so I'm hoping to stay where I am for a long time without poopout.(Originally diag anx + depression which seemed to build over a period of 2 yrs as I hit 50 yrs old.)
My other complaint is +20 pounds from 150 to 170 so I'm chubby, despite diet & exercise. I guess that's the price of mental health :-)
