I’m taking 0.5mg of clonazepam (Teva,USA). Even though I’m on Prozac 20mg now for 15 days, and able to function a little better, Anxiety builds up every 5-6 hours. Will there come a time when I can reduce the clonazepam? How to do that safely? Or will there always be a need to use it?
Will anxiety last indefinitely?

WCVet... your words of encouragement help greatly. I hope you will stay with me through this journey.
This is something I wrote in my profile:
"I am here to let people who are struggling know that there is a better way and to reach for a better life. I want to add some positive feedback rather than further discouraging people looking for answers."
And I meant it! You're more than welcome and I'm happy to help you to the best of my ability. I'm not a doctor or nurse but I have many, many years of my own experiences and research to share.
Hi, Red!
You're making progress but it's going to take a while longer for your Prozac to become fully effective for you. Be patient and don't worry about what may be... concentrate on the now. When the time comes your doctor can advise you with a plan to discontinue the clonazepam.
Treasure the good moments and don't dwell on the negative. You WILL get better!
WC,
Thank you so much for your knowledge and compassion. I hope you’ll be close by for this journey of mine
