Brief Answer: Doctor details Detailed Answer: Hello, I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. I understand that anxiety and depression can be very disabling and your approach in adding up medications with psychotherapy would be really profitable. Your fluoxetine and xanax combination is fine for your anxiety and depression, but the treatment has to be continued regularly. For therapy you may choose cognitive behavioural therapy. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness. As per your need , I am letting you know the details of a psychiatrist who can provide you with these medications and therapy near your location. You may contact: Dr. XXXXXXX R. McGinn, MD Psychiatry, Neuropsychiatry (Psychiatry) 218 Hospital Ave Suite C, Ozark, AL 36360 Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
