I just joined and am not sure really what I'm looking for but I am switching my depression medications from 60mg of Celexa (now weaned to 20mg) to 20mg of Prozac.

Not sure if this is the right forum but I've had GAD and panic attacks since I can remember, and this situation I have is exactly the same situation I went through for years about being too anxious to start any anti-anxiety meds. I'd fill the script and be too nervous to take them, read all the negatives. Well I got over that and Celexa helped with both my depression and anxiety along with my Xanax.

Now the FDA says 40mg tops daily for Celexa, and that just wasn't working. So now I am suppose to start my 20mg daily of prozac and am frightened by the thought of increased anxiety at first!

Anyone know the feeling?
What did you do if you were too anxious to start a med? If you did start and get anxious, what did you do? Stop...or keep going hoping it would be just a storm before the calm?

Any advice is great!

I also take 20m of add.xr 2x a day for ADHD...which never caused anxiety for me. But Prozac I heard can cause tiredness or anxiety? Plus weight gain or weight loss? All the different potential side effects on the complete opposite side of the spectrum! How frustrating!
