Yes SSRIs withdrawal can include a bunch of symptoms but you haven't been a long time on Prozac and Prozac is thought to be relatively smooth to withdraw from.

Your real problem is the anxiety that comes with taking and withdrawing from drugs and your GAD.

Seriously I would consider CBT or weekly appointment with a QUALIFIED psychologist.

No matter how many drugs you take it won't cure your problem to the root but I think you still have some other drugs to try.

Wellbutrin is a bad idea for someone anxious since it's stimulating and affecting your dopamine reuptake inhibition. It's true that it's a good idea for fatigue and low libido but for someone anxious as you are? Bad idea! Did you cut the Adderall or Ritalin, I don't remember which one you are using.
