Hi I suffered on and off with panic for 20 yrs ...now 50...I black out with major attacks...horrible..ie wake up drenched in sweat and shaking/vomiting...I was on 5mg Prozac for yrs ...helpful but not curative ...took klonopin on occasion ...avoided lots but worked full time ...1 yr ago I stopped the Prozac (have done this several times over the yrs) and was off it for 1yr ...my anxiety and panic seemed manageable eventhough I went thru sandy flooding, death in family and job change etc ...I was meditating and except using and eating right daily...the 2wks ago(right before my bday and 1yr anniversary off Prozac) I became depressed and anxious with racing thoughts 24/7...it's like the switch was turned back on ...I also have OCD thinking...been back on 5 mg pzac 2 wks and anxiety is not good at all ...I'm also losing weight and anxious all the time ...exhausting ...also becoming more agoraphobic ...I can't believe 3 wks ago I was fine off meds for 1yr and now like this ...perhaps I should have stuck it out longer off meds? But I could tell I suddenly was not in a good place and got scared ...but the Prozac isn't helping with anxiety after 2 wks and feeling desperate for relief ...taking klonopin with it makes me feel sick ..my dr wanted to add risperdal but that scares me!
