"after being on prozac for 5 years( for pmdd, and general anxiety) i took myself off of it against my doctors better judgement, and thought i was doing okay until a series of moderate to severe anxiety attacks. i saw my doctor and i was prescribed escitalopram, and the best thing about it is i have no ocd recurrences and very little high/low emotional disruption. i am posting this because i&#039;m not a &#039;poster&#039;, or a frequent flyer on forum sites, but i&#039;ve been off my escitalopram for about 2 weeks. i ran out and the usps is taking a little more time than usual to deliver. i&#039;m a mess. racing thoughts, crying a lot, fidgety. totally not like myself when i&#039;m on my meds. escitalopram is the best for me. don&#039;t stop taking it without your docs okay."
