I was given 20 MG Prozac for Generalized Anxiety disorder, Panic disorder and Depression. Has anybody else used it for these reasons and if so did it work? Thanks!

i was on it for about a year but it didnt work well with my bi polar meds after awhile.It made my sleep patterns horrible i was always sleepy.while i was on it alone it did work for my anxiety. i had really bad anxiety and would have horrible panic attacks because of it but i would have to say it should work well for you. my aunts been on it for about 5years and it works great for her. give it sometime you should work well if not talk to your doctor and see what other options you have. good luck.
oh and combination drugs usually work very well if you notice that it does not work well on its own but definitely talk to your doc before stopping. it usually takes about 3months for you to get the full affects so i would at least stay on it for that long.
It really depends on your personal body chemistry. For some people, Prozac does wonders, yet for others it does nothing. I’m in a similar position to you, I have severe Social Anxiety disorder and Major Depression disorder and I’m currently on Prozac and Clonazepam. The Prozac helps mildly with my mood, which my family has commented on, bit the Clonazepam has REALLY done the trick. It induces a mild sense of euphoria and it has eliminated nearly all of my anxiety. I think I might not even need Prozac anymore.
Do NOT take my information as advice, however. These medications can take weeks before they have any impact on your mood, and it is best to consult with your doctor monthly about these things.
