Still Struggline

[Animaltherapy]

I have been struggling with depression and then anxiety came about. I've been through several antidepressants and currently take 20mg of Prozac. Only feeling slightly better starting my fifth week. Any advice?

Hi there animal therapy regarding your anxiety and depression is not unusual to have to try different several medications till your doctor finds what's best for you least myself take venlafaxine which I find work really well no problems to speak of if tried citalopram in the past and also prozac but had a reaction to prozac It doesnt affect everyone but be careful about your doses and if you have any reactions see your doctor rather than stopping them cold i wish you well all the best celtic18

Thank you. It's just hard to know how long to stick it out before switching. I'm on low dose because I did the genesight and I don't metabolize many antidepressants that well so it takes longer and I'm better with low doses apparently.

Hang in there. Talk to your Dr. to see what he recommends for you. Keep talking things our. Maybe keep a journal when and how often you might feel the worst coming on.

Ive been taking Ativan 3mg per day but still horrible anxiety. Now Im trying Prozac and Effexor and Im off the charts with anxiety and chills. I dont know what to do now as I shake and shiver all day. Gonna try to cut back on some of these.
