Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. My appointment to discuss any med options is a few weeks off yet so I'm still trying to gather info so I'm well armed! I totally trust the psychiatrist I will be seeing but worry that I'm going to knock myself off balance (if I can call where I am a balancing act...) and make myself worse.

It strikes me as odd that people report Prozac increases their anxiety yet anxiety is my biggest problem right now- it leads straight on to depression for me because I take a look at my life and mindset and can't see a way out of it and land myself thinking/feeling life is pointless and too much for me if this (state of constant anxiety) is all there is. I can't ever seem to see my way out of it. I've got a therapist saying "feelings don't last forever" and all I can think is, no they don't, at least not in their current state, they just grow and morph into bigger and more terrifying things...the idea of them staying the same seems like a walk in the park at times.

I am unsure what will be suggested but I'm not so sure Prozac seems like a wise choice if it creates more anxiety, Paxil (Seroxat/Paroxotine) is a definite no-go after the last few times so I guess I'm looking at a new suggestion from the psychiatrist but I'm yet to guess what else could be suggested. Just wish they wouldn't all pen it as this magic bullet when we all know it really isn't.
