I have classic social anxiety for which I
go to counseling to help get over.
Another counselor is giving me xanax and
fluoxetine, the generic of prozac. The
xanax isn't a problem but the fluoxetine
causes excessive burping and has killed my
sex drive. This is in no way going to
help me on the dating scene or socially
unless i'm eating in japan.
I've heard that zolft has side effects
such as severe headaches and my father had
taken it and didn't like it so he
discontinued. My family has a history of
panic attacks and at 38, i'm finally
getting treatment for mine. I dearly
don't want to be dealing with headaches or
severe side effects but I also don't want
to continue belching and having zero sex
drive. Are they any other options
available as an alternative? I'd like to
bring this up when I see my counsel again
but I have no idea what's out there.
Thank you.
