Does anyone have any experience of taking fluoxetine while training to maintan a fairly strenuous training programme?
I began taking it 5 days ago for anxiety - more specifically, because I had insomnia due to the anxiety which was badly affecting my training. 5 days in and I appear to have hit the insomnia stage that I've heard so much about (it feels quite different to my anxiety-induced insomnia so I'm pretty sure it's the fluoxetine this time). As a result I feel very weak and tired and I know I won't be able to train tonight.
Does anyone have any words of encouragement?! I could really do with some! I am hoping that when the side effects calm down I'll be able to sleep and then regain my energy and strength... but for the moment I'm feeling quite depressed as I love to train and I can barely do any at the moment.
