How To Treat Anxiety And Panic Attacks?

Hi I have an auto immune thyroid disorder that in the beginning was a level over 150, I also have anxiety and panic attacks and possible OCD. I am also overweight. My doctor put me on cytomel 50mg twice a day and also phentermine for the weight. I am also taking lopressor for irregular heart problems and have a butterfly feeling in my chest at times that takes my breath away. I take prozac as well and a low dose zanax at night. I feel fine now that I am taking these medications but wonder if it is too much different medications for one person to take? In the past I was very anxious and irritable on top of the thyroid making me forgetful and in a scary daze. Now I feel leveled out and fine but have had friends say that they think that the phentermine and the lopressor is not good to be taking on the same day? I put many hours inbetween the two but would like the professional opinion on what is safe and what is not because I feel fine but do not want to be hurting my body at the same time. ? thanks *deb*

Hi


i understand your concern.

Prozac and zanax are the best medicine to treat anxiety and panic attack.

You can take it as per requirement and improvement.

You will take zanax as when required when you feel panic.

And if you have improvement with this medicines then please continue to take it for maintenance.

You can take lopressor along with this medicines on same day.

You can take it both together there is no problem with it.

Still have query then feel free to ask.
