Good morning

[aybud4625]

A note to introduce myself and my situation. I'm currently in day 22 on 10mg of fluoxetine for depression. I've just begun to notice two of the drug's side effects others have noted. For the past two days and nights, I've experienced anxiety, disrupted sleep from churning thoughts/anxiety, and some heat flashes resulting in sweating. I'm hoping these effects will subside shortly giving way to brighter days as others have experienced. Thank you for this opportunity of support and all best!

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I wish you all the best with fluoxetine, only lasted a couple of weeks on it myself, but I'm pretty intolerant of certain side effects (insomnia, sexual problems).

I've heard good things about fluoxetine though, once it gets established in your system.

Fluoxetine worked for me when I was on it some years back and it was brilliant. You're in for a treat. All the best.
