So about three months ago I took myself of Prozac after having been on it for about 4 years. I should have consulted a doctor about this but I didn't. Before i was on meds I did experience really bad anxiety and now it has come back. I have long periods of feeling really 'out of my body' and can convince myself of anything when I'm like this, it can be really scary. I also have panic attacks now and again.

I hate that I have come back to this. Does anyone have similar experiences? Am I always going to have to deal with this? I don't want to go back on meds as I had been really well for a long while once I decided to come off them. I can't talk to anyone about it because I know they'll tell me I shouldn't have come off meds. Appreciate any input even just people's stories of similar things happening to them.

I have had both the 'out of body' feeling and panic attacks. I've never been on meds though, I am too scared to take them.

I am in therapy and have made a lot of progress in being aware of what I'm thinking about and how some of the repetitive things I think cause me to panic. I am getting rid of the attacks without medication, but it's a slow process.

Maybe you should seek help from a psychologist. I am doing both, therapy and meds with the hopes of someday coming off of the meds with lifestyle changes. You should really think about speaking to a professional.
