Anti-anxiety meds: How well controlled is your anxiety now? Have you learned non-pharmacological ways to control or reduce anxiety. If symptoms are well controlled and you have incorporated behaviors to fend against anxiety you can work on tapering your Nuzak (Fluoxetine) with the prescribing physician. How you respond will determine if you are ready to come off.
