I am currently a big fan of Prozac, and am taking 20mg a day of the generic called Fluoxetine. I was diagnosed with General Anxiety disorder in October of 2007, and had been having anxiety attacks with symptoms of feeling anxious, tightness of the chest, overall uneasy feeling, nausea, inability to cope with the situation, etc. Originally I was prescribed given Xanax by a GI doctor, and then Paxil by my general physician, and it worked well for me for about 6 months. Unfortunately I started to have uncomfortable side effects, especially weight gain, so I requested my doctor prescribe me a different type of medication. I started Prozac towards the end of 2008, and found that it started working very well! I was not experiencing the same side-effects of Paxil (weight gain, fatigue during the day, insomnia at night, night sweats), and felt that the medication was effective in treating my condition. I have also experienced less random anxiety attacks while on Prozac then when I was on Paxil. Recently over the past few months I have been starting to experience night sweats, which are annoying, but at this time that is the only "con" and is not making me want to discontinue this medication.
