I have self-diagnosed with GAD and panic, but I was wondering, I hate SSRI's, but if I only stay on them for 1-2 years, (tapering off slowly), will the anxiety continue?

Reason I ask, for example, I get tons of anxiety when Im sleepy, or didn't get enough sleep. So, if I go on Prozac and the anxiety doesn't hit me, will I not worry about it since the anxiety has been gone for months+, therefore, not get anxiety?

I know thats confusing...sorry.

if the prozac works it will reduce your anxiety a lot
have you tried this type of med before?

lexapro made me so tired and the sexual side effects made me stop after a week or two. Effexor did absolutly nothing after 12 weeks.
