i decided to join the site as i am going out of mind, with panic and depression just want it to go away please:) started fluoxtine 23 days ago and still waiting for it to kick in fully i have been on these for years and stopped late last year but illness has caused me to need them again so i am waiting to feel normal again which i know will happen it will just be time i am also on other meds which do not help dex a steroid, effecting sleep so thats not helpful at all, any messages of hope with the fluoxtine kicking in would be so welcome right now, thanks

Just wanted to say welcome. I don't have experience with fluoxitine (I'm on sertraline) but after a few weeks I started feeling a lot better. I hope it will kick in soon for you and you can get some relief!

I am new too and just wanted to say hi and welcome. I too am on fluoxetine and so far after 3 weeks no change. I spoke to my doctor today and he has suggested that I change to something else. I am seeing him tomorrow so will let you know what he says?
I know how you feel as I am in that dark place too and and am hoping and praying that things improve soon.
