Sounds like maybe you need a benzo (klonopin, Ativan, Xanax) in the short term anyway to feel less anxious with the New Med. That's really sort of standard procedure these days for anxiety and SSRI's. That would also help if your husband is away or any other situation in which you think you might be very fearful and not have much emotional support. My point with Prozac is that with anxiety you never know-Rrozac is calming to me, although it has the reputation of being stimulating. When it comes to meds, it's an Easter Egg Hunt, fw...don't get discouraged if the first or second one doesn't work. Please think about the benzo in the short term, too. SSRI's are scary the first time around.
