I started prozac in 1989 and took it on and off for 9 yrs. In 1995 I started experiencing anxiety attacks, by 1998 I noticed that my anxiety was greater ON the Prozac then off, and I stopped taking it.
I know I have been somewhat of a lab rat for long term use of prozac, now I am wondering about the serotonin syndrome...
> Thanks. That's how I read it, but there was some hint that increasing serotonin for the "deprived" test animals was beneficial for them. After 55 years of anxiety that comes and goes and then a recent hell on SSRIs, now on BZD monotherapy, I was shocked to see these articles. Because I was/am pretty much convinced that SSRIs for anxiety, not caused by depression, is more marketing than medicine. Hell on SSRIs, notwithstanding, I wonder if I made a mistake opting for BDZs only.
