Hi everyone,
After 2 weeks on 20 mg fluoxetine I gave up and went back to 20 mg Seroxat. Seroxat has always worked for me in the past but it has always been so hard to withdraw from. Anyway, as I wanted to try for a baby my GP suggested I withdraw from Seroxat which I did but unfortunately my health anxiety came back with a vengeance after 5 weeks so he tried me on Fluoxetine but as this didn’t seem to work (yes I know I didn’t really give it time to work), I decided to go back to Seroxat.
So I have been on 20 mg Seroxat for 9 days (9th tablet today) and I feel much better BUT I feel very lightheaded and my legs feel like jelly. I know this is a common symptom of anxiety but because I suffer from Health Anxiety I keep imagining that there is something really serious wrong with me. I just want to feel better again but I know I need to let the Seroxat start to work agan. Any idea how long before I start to feel more normal again????
Thanks for your advice
