What does well feel like?

[Kayleigh100]

I am definitely better than I was - day 24 now. The extreme panic attacks have gone, I am sleeping better and when I do wake it isn't in panic, my concentration when it is on one thing is better and hot flushes have passed but....

I am feeling a bit spaced out and can only concentrate on one thing at a time, am tired despite sleeping quite well and social paranoia is worse (where I wonder what people are thinking about me).

Are these more side effects or are they part of 'being well on fluoxetine?'

I have been on fluoxetine for about 5 or 6 months on 40mg and I have been feeling a lot better but feel tired a lot so it probably is just side effects

Hi, I could have written your post as I feel exactly the same! My extreme panic has subsided and I am eating again and sleeping better but I feel really spaced out, especially during the day, which makes me feel very self conscious. I also haven't quite got rid of the tight throat yet. I am on six weeks tomorrow and I do think that this is caused by our bodies adjusting to the meds. Hopefully we'll see a difference as things settle more. At least it's not just me!! lol xx

Snoopy - good to hear someone else in my boat.

I've had an awful day today though. Had something happen which would normally trigger a panic attack. The panic attack has stayed controlled but I am full of self loathing. Really bad - not a nice place to be.
