[P.O.E.]

Maybe I'm just in that percentile who did worse under the drugs than not. Some years back, I was having anxiety attacks while going through divorce. The doc started me off with Prozac, which put me on Pluto. They then continued with a series of drugs which made me worse & worse. I only got better when I took myself off them after about 9 months of incapacitation.

I think they actually did more harm, since it made me unable to try to keep my family together. I think the doctors saw my insurance card, and kept racking up the bill and playing CYA.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It must have been very trying and confusing time in you life, and you might be right about the Doc's abusing your insurance card. Unfortunately, not every doc is a moral person.

SSRI's of which prozac is a memeber tend to work quite well in people generalized anxiety, but there are always exceptions. Some people actually need someone to talk to (not necessarily a therapist) instead of drugs.

How are things now? (If you don't mind my asking)
