U have likely: Reached a steady state with ur current dose of prozac (fluoxetine).Consider increasing the dose or adding a different med vs behavioral therapy ( cbt ).Of course, all under the supervision of your treating physician.

TOO MANY DRUGS?: I am very confused by your question.Your profile says you are already taking effexor, (venlafaxine) Paxil and anafranil.And on top of that you are on prozac it seems you are taking two meds in the same group called ssris and it does not make any sence discuss with your treating doctor or doctors about all your meds and get it corrected asap.

Yes, it will.: You will enhance the effect of Prozac (fluoxetine) with individual psychotherapy where you learn techniques of relaxation and ways of dealing with situations which trigger your anxiety.
