My primary gave me Prozac for moderate anxiety and within two days I had an insanely awful reaction to it. Probably serotonin syndrome. It took me a month to feel normal again. In the last year I’ve just had Ativan for emergencies. But I have a hard time determining what’s an emergency and when I really could or should take it. I want to stay far away from anything that affects serotonin. I’m considering asking to try Lyrica. Has anyone tried it for anxiety? They say it affects the brain the same way benzos do but so much safer.
