Hi, has anybody swapped from Cit to Fluox and if so any adverse effects.

I am on 40mg of Cit daily and 20mg of Propranolol as and when needed. Been on Cit for 12 months, started on 20mg and on 40mg for the last 6 months. Now whilst everything has settled down and apart from mornings, where I can be a little anxious, I now feel ok.

But, I have lost the desire to do the thing's I used to like doing, fishing, cycling, golf and my G.P. noticing that I have put on weight asked why I have stopped, so I told him that I had lost the desire to do these and other things, like cutting the lawn. He had a chat with a friend of his who is a Psychiatrist and they both agree that a change to Fluoxetine 20mg should keep the anxiety at bay and stimulate my interest again.

So the plan is to stop the Cit for 3 days and then start the Fluox, he says that because I am used to a SSRI there shouldnt be any bad withdrawl symptoms and I should be ok on the new stuff.

Any thoughts.
