@sallyo420 Hi! I had a rough day yesterday and last night. My doctor called me this morning and recommended that I give Prozac another try, but take 5 mg every other day. She believes I’m still dealing with withdrawal symptoms 😫😫. I told her that I don’t want to reinstate Venlafaxine and taper more slowly. She supports that decision but doesn’t want me to go through this without some help. So, I’ve decided to try the Prozac schedule and see how I feel.
I also have 10 mg propranolol to help with anxiety symptoms and 10 mg hydroxyzine to help with panic attacks, insomnia, and anxiety. Both are available to take as needed. I also have Ativan 0.5 mg to take as needed. I ended up having to take the Ativan last night because I developed severe anxiety with constant trembling that kept me up all night. Unfortunately, the Ativan didn’t help, so I called the advice nurse and was told to take the hydroxyzine as well. I finally fell asleep around 4:30 a.m., but when I woke up at 10:30 a.m., the same trembling and anxious feelings returned. 😢. I took the Prozac this afternoon and slept for the remainder of the day. I’m hoping that the Prozac gives me some well needed results 😊🤗
