I've been on it for 1 week and I'm having pretty major panic/anxiety attacks. They seem to go away as the day wears on. This morning was the worst...it started when I woke up at 630 and lasted until about 930 or so. I attributed it to being the first day back at work after a long (and rough) weekend, but i wonder if it's a side effect. I also had them during morning hours throughout the weekend.

Is there evidence that Prozac can induce these panic attacks? How long until they went away for you, if so? I called my doc to ask about it and he said I needed to schedule an appt to come in and change meds, but I've read so many good things about Prozac that I don't want to give up on it yet. Should I ask the doc to prescribe me Xanex on an as needed basis?


Thanks,
Eric
