Just started the generic prozac only seven days ago with .5 klonopin in the morning and .5 klonopin in the evening. I just started actually sleeping about
two nights ago. And havent had one major panic attack yet. This is significant for me because I usually have several a day and a very high retsing heart rate (not dangerous) for those who think it is. Has anyone else had success with there med this fast? I have been on klonopin only before and it didnt help like this. What do you think?

I have been on Effexor XR for about 4 weeks. The first few days were not fun, but I began to see improvments after that. I feel sooo much better now!

I have been on Effexor XR for about three weeks now and I feel much better. I did have a little trouble sleeping the first couple of nights, but that could have been the Anxiety from starting a new med.

God Bless!

for some lucky ones, antidepressants seem to work from day one and with no side effects

I am also on Klonopin .5 twice a day. I found that my panic attacks decreased even more when I started taking Celexa. Klonopin will definitely make you sleepy. I tried Prozac as well but that actually kept me awake. I know the SSRI's take a while to work (2-4 weeks) but the Klonopin would work right away.
