I have very severe panic attacks that will cause me to shake uncontrollably and faint. My attacks are pretty painful but a pain that’s hard to describe. Anyway my doctor gave me 10mg of Prozac for anxiety with 5mg of Buspar due to my panic attacks. Does this work? I have tried Xanax before and it seems to be the only thing that helps but they will not prescribe it to me because I have these attacks too frequently.
Panic disorder and anxiety disorder Prozac and Buspar?

Honestly, that’s a very low dose of Buspar. When I was initially diagnosed with panic disorder, I started at 10mg of Buspar and .50 of Xanax three times a day. After a week, I dropped the Xanax and upped the Buspar to 15mg three times a day and that really helped. I’m not sure about the Prozac dose, but the 5mg of Buspar is low. I’d talk to your doctor. It’s really terrible that Xanax is so hard for us to get. I hope this helps, hang in there. Good luck to you!
