Have suffered on and off for 15 years with extreme acute anxiety usually when there are changes in my life, have been on fluoxetine for a very long time apart from a time when was changed to venlafaxine in 2012 which gave me bad withdrawals every day so was changed to duloxetine which seemed better for me. Last year my liver reading were high and the doc thought it was the new meds so put me back on fluoxetine increased to 40mg. Have had around 5 bad anxiety spells since. Am curious and to what anti anxiety meds seem better for everyone or is it different for all? I also take diazepam on short term basis when things are really bad.
