On right track : Prozac (fluoxetine) is a good choice for treatment of anxiety and depression. Combination of medications and therapy has been shown to help in moderate to sever depression compared to medications alone. Hopefully you should feel better soon.

Very Hopeful: Anxiety and depression usually respond well to a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Prozac (fluoxetine) is an effective ssri. Cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and physical exercise can also help you to overcome these symptoms and develop well being. Best to stay with the therapy for a while even after you start feeling better so results last.
