484508 tn?1290010544 hitman it has nothing to do with the prozac. it is the klonopin w/d...i gaurentee it. start back on the prozac and get a taper schedule from ryan for the klonopin. treat them as 2 seperate issues. if you experience anxiety attribute it to the klonopin withdrawal and stay on the prozac. this one i know about, you could say i am an expert. the hasty taper schedule is what caused ALL your symptoms not the prozac.

959034 tn?1253671476 This has helped a lot with my general anxiety, and my psychiatrist has given me klonopin to help with the occasional panic that pops up. Prozac is approved to treat panic disorder, but it tends to have an "uppity" effect compared other antidepressants - and this can exacerbate anxiety.
Avatar f tn Hi , I have just started taking 10mg of Prozac and 0.5 mg of Klonopin , I started the Klonopin first and it helped me sleep so much better at night but now that I have started taking the Prozac I am having troubles sleeping again with my anxiety . My question is this normal ?
Avatar f tn I am currently on 20 mg of prozac and .5 of xanax. The insomnia from the prozac is crazy. I have a prescription for trazadone but do not want to take because of the interaction with the prozac. Ive been reading about melatonin. Has anyone tried taking it for sleep? Did it help? And will the insomnia from prozac get better and how long would that take?
685562 tn?1447155231 Hello everyone, Ive recently become a member of this wonderful site, and it has been a Godsend in helping with my anxiety. To start off, I developed extreme GAD with slight tendencies of OCD from nowhere "one day fine, then wammo next day ****" I had all the physical anxiety..still have some of it, but much better now. Its been about 2-3 months since it really hit, on my course of learning...
Avatar f tn I went to another Dr who came recommended to me, and she wants me to also take Klonopin and start taking Prozac while tapering off Paxil. I am scared to do either. I finally went ahead and tried the Klonopin (.25) but have only taken it in the morning and twice a day as prescribed as I don't want to be addicited or a zombie.
Avatar m tn I stopped Prozac, and my anxiety is under control now. I am currently taking .5 mg of Klonopin morning and night, and I am doing fine. Strangely, I do feel physically ill again (like when I was sick), but my anxiety is fine. My chest has been hurting all the time (GERD, chest pressure, and chest pain), and it doesn't seem to correlate at all with feelings of anxiety. The chest pressure and pain honestly feels cardiac related, but I've had that checked out thoroughly.
Avatar n tn I went to see my internist, and she is now weening me from klonopin and lexapro, and putting me on prozac. I have heard many a bad thing about prozac, anyone out there take prozac who suffers from panic disorder and depression?
Avatar f tn If you've only been taking the Klonopin for four days, you do not have to taper.
Avatar n tn Make sure you taper slowly off the Paxil before starting the Prozac, so you can separate the symptoms of the body adjusting to the lack of Paxil from the effects of Prozac. There's no predicting what Prozac will do for you, anymore than you could have predicted what Paxil would do for you. Paxil does have the reputation of being a stronger med for anxiety, but you're the only you there is, so who knows? And are you in therapy?
1448936 tn?1363206346 However yesterday I went to my doc for a check up and she found that I was having a very fast resting heartbeat. She seemed a little concerned and prescribed me prozac to go along with my xanax due to the fact that i am dealing with the end of a 4 year relationship which has me stressed, upset and confused. She told me to start on the prozac and she made an appt for me in 5 weeks to see if my heartbeat has returned to normal. So 2 problems.
Avatar n tn i think the problem would be best handled head on. i would take anti-anxiety medication like xanax or klonopin. i took prozac 60mg didn't do anything, i took celexa 60mg didn't do anything. im on zoloft 100mg now and still nothing. i know i've been on a lot of different medications, but thats what happens when you get involved with psychiatrists. good luck.
Avatar m tn I was daignosed with Major Depressive Disorder and GAD. I was put on Prozac an d Klonopin. Within 2 weeks I felt SOOO much better and back to myself, though I worried EVERYDAY that the "episode" would come back. It didnt, and I slowly was weened off Klonopin within a year and stayed on 40 mgs of Prozac ever since. 11 years later, October 2011, I gave birth to my first child. I had the WORST Post Partum depression.
Avatar m tn I have been on Klonopin 20 years for panic disorder. I am a recovering alcoholic for 20 years now also. I was required to get off my Klonopin for a job and have been going through hell ever since. My doctor has helped me taper. It has taken over 6 weeks to get all the way off and I have now been off for over 6 days and still having very severe withdrawels. How long can I expect to feel this way and what else can I expect.
Avatar f tn Im having right now more withdraws from the Prozax then what I did with the Klonopin....funny huh, and the Prozac never even worked, lol So basically I was taking it so I can later have SSRI discountinuation syndrome.
1699033 tn?1514113133 00 am even when I take 1 mg of Klonopin. Do you think I have waited long enough? Thanks. I successfully took Prozac many years ago and I had no problems.
Avatar f tn ve been to the hospital so many times, and called 911 countless times.. I have anxiety and attacks constantly everyday. My doctor put me on prozac and xanax. So far it has done nothing for me and I've been taking it for 3 weeks. The xanax helps a little but for short periods of time. I'm going to start seeing a therapist soon. It's really bad, I never want to be alone because I'm scared I'm gonna die and nooone will be here.
1042423 tn?1260994959 I currently take Klonopin for the panic disorder, but was just prsecribed Prozac to help with my general anxiety.
