Fluoxetine 20 mg has been brilliant for me. Came of it slowly with docs help but 5 months later had to go back on. 9 weeks now still struggling does it take longer second time round. Please tell me still time to work. Good stories only please as very scared. 🙂

It usually takes around a month for it to start working properly. I take 20mg for the second time also since coming off it and although I am still having anxiety, I am seeing improvements after 3 weeks.

You may need to take a higher dose if it is no helping you

I would also recommend taking it at the same time each day and avoiding alcohol for a while if you do drink

Have you also tried to maybe listening to guided relaxation music for anxiety? There are a lot of youtube videos and I find they really help me sleep. There is also an app called headspace which is for meditation and this is also good

Hope you feel better very soon :-)
