Hi,
I'm barry. I have just signed up here after finding the site when googling for help with anxiety in the initial stages of Fluoxetine. I recently went cold turkey off citalopran as I thought I could do without them. I had been taking them for around 12 yrs, having been put on them for depression. I was fine for a week or so but soon after went into a bad depressed phase.
The Dr has prescribed me Fluoxetine as he thinks it may be better for me than citalopran. I am now on day 12 of taking 20mg and am feeling very anxious about everything. I am currently off work due to the depression.
I found a thread on these forums (forum wont let me post it!) , which seems to say anxiety is normal when starting fluoxetine and will pass which was reassuring. I see my Dr on Monday so will tell her what I'm feeling like. I'm finding this very difficult.
That's my story.
Cheers,
Barry
