Can I Take Prozac For Anxiety?
Hello i have had anxiety issues for about three to four years, i couldnt even get out of home or go to a market without getting dizzy and stomach pain due to anxiety. A doctor gave me librax and it helped a little, i sometimes take it on SOS base. But i also suffer from depression and never took anything for it. I cant go to a psychaitarist because i live in a backward area and i wont bee allowed. I was married out of my choice and the guy turned out to be a really bad person. I am getting divorce now and my depression is really bad. I can get medixine here without prescription but i wont be able to go to a doctor since no one in my family would allow. What medicine should i take? Can i take prozac? I will go out of my mind if i dont get treatment but no one in my family realizes my situation

Dear friend,
Your situation, I can understand. You have to seek professional help is a must and you should be able to do that. It is much easier and cheaper than getting a divorce. Medicines can make you feel better. But much more is needed for bringing you back to the normal state.
Regarding your question, Prozac or fluoxetine is used for treatment of depression and other anxiety disorders. So it most probably be useful.
You can get a prescription from a family doctor if you cannot see a psychiatrist
