In the past I had good results for severe depression and anxiety with prozac.  I have just started back on it after being on Lexapro for 3years (it pooped out) and effexor for 3 months (didn't work and raised BP).  I am hoping it works as well this time as it did before.

I have just stopped taking 80 mg prozac after about 6 mos. I liked the prozac because it made me so happy and carefree.But it just did not stop my  jitters from anxiety. So I stopped prozac one day and began Cymbalta the next (30mg for the first week and then 60 mg for the past 31/2 wks. I do have less anxiety now with the Cymbalta but I also have lost that jovial attitude that I was begininning to enjoy with the prozac.

I have taken 10-20mg Prozac for 10 yrs now, off and on. It helped a great deal with depression and panic attacks, but not so much with the generalized anxiety or agoraphobia. It also put alot of weight on me. But helped me sleep better at night too. Also helped with PMS, but oddly messed up my cycles. Overall, it was a good drug.
