I've taken fluoxetine (Prozac) in a very different context - for raised anxiety during a move, but later decided to keep it. It really just decreased my anxiety and made me feel like my old self again.

In the middle of tapering off of one antidepressant that made me emotionally flat and starting a new one, I did essentially have a panic attack. A trip to urgent care really helped me, and they prescribed something to help me through that weekend. I would not hesitate to go in for care if you feel your body is just not handling the transition well.

@lisalucier thank you. I went to urgent care yesterday. While there, my doctor called me to see how I was doing because I left her a message too. She recommended I discharge myself because they probably won’t be able to assist me. She recommended I try Prozac and if I feel like I need immediate care, she recommended I go to the emergency department for treatment. Urgent care physicians will probably just give me a benzodiazepine instead of assessing the symptoms 🤔
