Got my genetic test back and Prozac could work for my anxiety. Would this help with tapering off Klonopin? Currently on Pristiq also which I think has pooped out after 10 years.
Wondering if anyone has done this?
Does an SSRI help tapering off Klonopin?

Hi, kid!
Prozac has helped many people with anxiety disorders and I wish you good luck with it. You may start feeling some improvements in the first couple of weeks but it can sometimes take 4-8 weeks to feel the full benefits of the medication.
As your anxiety starts to respond to the Prozac you should find that it's easier to cut back and eliminate the need for the Klonopin.
Take care and, again, best of luck to you.

I tried to take Prozac in lieu of a Benzo and I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I tried it. I took the smallest dose and felt terrible and it was scary how my heart was racing. Good luck with it. I would also like to get off Klonopin but haven't found the answer.
