anxiety and stress
"I've taken Prozac before and it helps with anxiety as long as I don't drink too much alcohol (which makes anxiety worse afterwards). The problem for me is getting used to the medication so I start on 10mg for a week then slowly increase the dose to 20mg. For a few weeks though I'm more anxious and at times suicidal and depressed so I take Valium while that's happening. This whole cycle is hard so to take Prozac is not an easy decision for me, but I'm keen to feel 'good' again so I'll stick with it."
