start in 10 mg for say 2 weeks, panic attack sufferers can have severe early side effects, also order a few cheap self help books on overcoming panic attacks from an internet bookstore

any mid range valiuim type pill disolved under tongue will reduce or stop a panic attack, valium goes OK with prozac

i was diagnosed with bipolar by a psychologist, but my psychiatrist didn't think that was the case.

he gave me 10 mg of prozac for my anxiety and HORRIBLE depression.

turns out, that gave him my real diagnosis. after 2 weeks, i started cycling between mania and depression every few hours and it was really really bad, i wanted to die. my anxiety was the same...

but.

it has helped some people. its good for people who have only anxiety or depression, however if you are bipolar, i think taking it along with a mood stabilizer is the best course of action.

beware!!!

for my anxiety, my panic attacks, im given an allergy medicine, hydroxyzine. it is mildly sedative.

also they found out a lot of my anxiety is from the mania, so one you yourself have everything evened out, you should be okay.

one friend of mine takes an antidepressant, like prozac, in the same family, and it works wonders for her PTSD. panic attacks have lessened... but not gone away completely.
