I have been on 40mg of prozac for about 4 days now.and this morning i went to class and felt extremely nervous and anxious.I am very manic and said somethings that i dont normally say.I also got extremely angry at the receptionist when the dr. wouldnt see me today.I am very impatient and have ran out of klonopin to control my anxiety attacks. What should i do?

can you go to the ER? Usually I find they are pretty good about giving you a couple of klonopin till you see the doc. Did you get an appointment?

I'm not sure what your history is with Proz.
I find I only need a 20 mg daily am dose and skip every 3rd or 4th day. It has a long half-life compared to the other SSRIs. It will definitely get your motor running in the morning (at least for me).

If you have bipolar tendancies SSRIs like prozac can make you more likely to become manic or hypomanic. Have you been on SSRIs before? Have you ever felt manic before?
If you have felt manic before, then a mood stabiliser might be a better option for you.
