Does fluoxetion work for anxiety problems?!
Question:
Answers:
A little bit.. I'm currently on fluoxetine (prozac) and it helps to give you a 'window' of clear space in your mind to deal with problems - have you been diagnosed with depression - if not I wouldn't recommend it for anxiety alone but instead use bachs flower remedy when you get paniky or st johns wort once a day. I have been on the prozac for three / four years now and in personal experience have found it hard to stop taking the medicine - every time I have stopped I've gone out of control and tried to attack people and hurt myself - I don't recommend it unless your doctor thinks it is absolutley neccessary. Medicine for psychiactric problems should ideally be accompanied with councelling.

I've never experienced Fluoxetion. however I am currently taking Clonazepam and it works, it's however a sedative and you have to FOR SURE take it for a day or two before getting behind the steering wheel to judge how the medication affects you. (It does often cause drowsiness)
you should really try to explore what the root of your anxiety comes from and try to come to terms with it rather than relying on drugs to ease they anxiety. anxiety can be concerned through therapeutic interventions with a psychologist rather than medicated prescriptions of a psychiatrist. Try to find motivation for your life and a strength that you have, or some way to express yourself. medication has to be used in conjunction to therapeutic intervention.
