What is the likelyhood of your panic attack reoccuring again? Also what are some withdrawal symptoms of prozac

I had severe case of panic attacks for the past month, but this month I did not have any. I'm really glad for that. I never  had any panic attacks before. I was given prozac by a doctor. I took for one week and stop it. I noticed that am sleeping better and functioning alright. Although I tend to get moody sometimes and I have hard time concentrating on school work. Is this a some of the withdrawal effect of prozac. I did not have any panic for two weeks period now. Does  this mean am free of it? Would it come back again.

first off, i dont think you can atribute the relief in symptoms to the meds because you would bairly be feeling the effects after only one week.  I'd think they went away on their own.  Being unable to concentrate and moodiness are signs of depression/anxiety.  Why did you go off the meds?  I have found in the past when i try to go off mine, i do get cranky, and forgetfull.  Not sure if you'd have any withdrawls.  For future reference, try to go off slowly.  If it is your body adjusting to stopping the meds, i'd think you should be in the clear real soon.  If the "side effects"  continue, you might want to re evaluate the reason you started them in the first place, and the reason you went off them, and reconsider taking them as perscribed.  There are some drawbacks to taking antidepressants, but for some off us, there are no other options

This is not an area of expertise.  I would suggest speaking with the physician who prescribed the medication for more clarification.
