Can medication suddenly make you feel worse?

[kath1971]

I have been taking Prozac for over a year for generalized anxiety disorder. I started on 20mg which was increased to 60 then down to 20mg which I have been taking for the past few months with no problems, until a few weeks ago. I am constantly suffering from adrenaline rushes which happened over the past few days and have had virtually no sleep. This is ruining my life I was wondering if anyone had this effect after taking a medication for a length of time and if there was any solution. Thank you

I dont think Im under any particularly stress but have been thinking about my dad and brother who passed within five months in between bout three years ago I have spoken to my consultant who is seeing me tomorrow with a view to changing my medication. My own gp has just given me diazepam 5mg for a few days Took my first dose a couple of hours ago but the feelings are still there Hoping to get some help tom Will let you know :)

If you have been taking it for months without any problems, do you think it may be another issue? Are you under a lot of stress right now?  For me, stressors can cause many symptoms to ebb and flow.   Have you talked to your doctor about it?
