My sympathy Hopey. You are braver than me, I cant even stick it out for days, let alone weeks. But there are many who can and reap the benefits. Wishing you well and hope you do and feel better soon.

You can do this Hopey! Remember why your doing this, because you've decided to take control of your situation rather then it control you. Tomorrow will be a better day. Rest whenever you can and DON'T be hard on yourself. It's ok to have bad days :)

Hi Hopey, am also on same.
In my 30th day, am also struggling with it.
Had same symptoms plus others, have checked with GP.
Was promised that these WILL subside, need to stick with it a bit longer.
For you...:hugs:

Hey, i'm on fluo over a year now.I take 60mg every day but i see no difference anymore and i want to cut it off.

It doesn't work for everyone.

I was told to stay on it nearly a year and it didn't touch the panic attacks at all!

[hopey]

hello Rag. Thanks so much for your reply. It really does help knowing there are people out there. And not "just pull yourself together"
Grotty this pm !!!! How are you today?

hello ladybug.. It really is a struggle isnt it How are youtoday Do hope you are having a better day than I am.. People say you will feel better when the sun is out but that isnt working today. Thanks for your input. hopey

Hi Hopey, it should start working by 8 weeks at the latest. Having waited this long you may as well wait that final week to see if it might kick in. Then I think you need to go back to the doctor and ask for something else instead. There are many meds you can try, so there is still hope that meds may help.

Have you had any counselling or therapy at all? That's another thing worth requesting if you haven't already.

thanks flori for your kind thoughts. hope you are good today blessings hopey
