That would be awesome if it could be on Angie’s List! Good idea! I have gone through a psych and MD who does not understand. I’m 2 months out, but have a really bad relapse with anxiety and restless legs. She upped my Prozac to 60 MG, but it’s not working! Just making it worse in my opinion.

After being completely off for three and a half to four months, I had a very bad anxiety and panic relapse, and I'm having excellent results with citalopram (generic Celexa). I've been on it for a couple of months and take 20 mg, which my doc will increase if necessary.

I weened so slowly I never used a bridge, but that is also because I am giving myself a break on all medications. There is certainly nothing wrong with taking Prozac, but if it doesn’t work that’s not cool. Are you completely off Effexor now?
