Medication Effects: I commend you wanting to get off Valium if it had become habit forming. Of course you deserve relief from Anxiety. Valium is for Anxiety. Prozac (fluoxetine) is for depression, it can help with anxiety. Increasing Prozac (fluoxetine) from 20mg/day to 40mg/day is likely causing anxiety. See a Psychiatrist for diagnosis, need for medication, dose, benefits and side effects, Therapy, Breathing Relaxation, and Visual Imagery.
