Hey all! I hoping you can all help me feel 'normal' So I've had anxiety for several years and started meds about 4 years ago- did well on prozac- few hiccups here and there but nothing I couldn't handle. Decided to come of my prozac as my husband and I want to start a family. I thought I'd be fine off medication and wanted to be off medication during pregnancy. Well big mistake. No pregnancy and instead I have lost all control of my anxiety. The past few months have been awful. I tried to start zoloft and couldnt handle the side effects. So sick and anxious. So about a month ago I slowly restarted on prozac. I had to start on 5mg for some time and am only on 10mg/day for the past 2 weeks. I also have klonopin to use but for some reason I hesitate on taking that. Well the past 2 weeks have been up and down. I have days I feel so anxious I can't function and other days I feel like I might actually be getting better. Yesterday I had one of the worst days I have had in a long time. So on edge and just constant anxiety. All the professionals tell me its normal and that I just have to push through this period of adjustment. I just feel like I am struggling so much and that I will never get back to where I was.
Can anyone offer some support?? Anyone else felt this way and ended with success???
