Hi guys
Started a course of fluoxetine about two weeks ago, 20mg daily. I managed to last 10 days before the side effects got unbearable, the usual sweating, 100% worse anxiety and depression, the metallic taste, sore jaw, the whole she bang. On speaking with my doctor she swapped me out for sertraline this Monday just gone but after my last fluoxetine on Monday morning I decided to cut them all out.
The reason for the post is that I've had some terrible withdrawal symptoms. Mainly I feel exhausted, had all kinds of aches and pains, still have the metallic taste, a lot of dizziness, tons of anxiety and depression and worse of all I have really twitchy legs and arms. They seem absolutely full of energy. Has anyone else had similar experiences? And how long can I expect them to last? It's doing my health anxiety absolutely no favours!
