fluoxetine experiences please

[gina p]

I've been put on it . I'm scared to take it in case it ....... well .. kills me !!!
Anyone give me any insight on how long it took to work and what the side effects were like . Is it better to take it at bedtime or in the morning ?

Hi Gina. Ive not been on fluxetine, but i have some advice.
If youre worried about the side effects cut the pill into a smaller amount and ween yourself onto it. It'll take longer for you to get to the theraputic effects of a full dose, but you will avoid alot of the possible side effects from taking the higher dose.
Thats how I do it anyway

HI I took this one bout year ago side effects weren't too bad I think all I had was slight drowsyness first few days. I only came off these as they were not strong enough for me and Id reached the maximum dose. You will be fine on these ones.
