Hi sar,
I am no expert on meds but I will tell you what has worked for me. Please do not take that as being sound medical advice.
I have found no difference between Klonopin and clonazepam. I currently take clonazepam. Xanax may be fine for some but I found that it was like a roller coaster. Withdrawal symptoms every 3 hours or so. Clonazepam seems more like 24 hours. Much more even. I don’t abuse the clonazepam either. I think I have generalized anxiety. But part of this is a reluctance to be very social. I used to find that if I drank I was okay socially at least until I drank too much. Now I don’t find that alcohol helps.
Don’t worry about not being able to get ‘Genuine’ Prozac. What my pdoc prescribes is PMS fluoxitine. I have no idea what the PMS is but she refers to it as real Prozac. I know that more than one manufacturer makes it so I think your supply is safe. It costs me more that generic fluoxitine, but you might want to ask one of the pharmacy whizzes on the PB Board about it. Maybe you could save a few dollars.
Hope things work out for you.Greg
