My doctor called in the wrong strength of Prozac. I am having some of the worst panic attacks I've ever had. Can I take 2 20mg capsules until they call in the 40mg? I can't take the heart pounding. I'm basically a hot mess. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Why does Buspar just quit working? Why is it making my panic attacks worse?

My memory has gone drastically down hill this last month on Buspar. I see faces, and can't put names with them (either in person, or on TV!)
