Hi,

Prozac is very helpful for anxiety, I have used it very often for my patients. But also needs time for full effectiveness, at least 2 weeks.

Also, I suppose you have been checked to emergency to avoid any cardiac problem. Meantime you may discuss with your doctor to add any other drug such as Lorazepam to control anxiety till Prozac takes action.

I suggest you avoid stressful situations and have a good sleep, do everyday activities and everything with go right.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Suzana Zharri, General & Family Physician
