Hi everyone! I am 25 and have had anxiety and panic attacks since I was 16. I usually get scared of going crazy. It comes and goes, it usually shows up in Winter/Spring and goes away by Summer with the help of Paxil. In the Summer of 2006 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and the 2nd day in the hospital I had the worst panic attack, the nurses were looking at me like I was crazy. My doc put me on Paxil and it worked, that is until now. I recently tried a diet pill to help lose some weight and it brought out my anxiety and stopped my Paxil from working. I went to the doctor and she switched me to Prozac 20mg the first week and 40mg after that, my anxiety has been so bad and I have been feeling dizzy and nauseous. I am on my 3rd week and I went in to see my doc again for the dizziness today and she thinks its a symptom of my anxiety and said that my anxiety will get worse before it gets better and wants me to up my meds to 60mg. Has this ever happened to anyone? Any advice would be appreciated:)
