I went to my doctors appointment yesterday and again had a anxiety attack in the waiting room. The receptionist called for a nurse, I told her that wasn't necessary that I would be okay but she called for one anyways. The nurse put me in a room and took my blood pressure, it was 120 over 90 and its seems that this is they way its been for a long time.

So now, Im starting Prozac 20mg and will increase to 40 within 2 weeks. She gave me some more Xanax since I ran out of it a week ago.
