Hi, I'm on day 5 using fluxentine. I have been suffering from depression for quite a while but not had the guts to admit to it or do anything about it. But now I have hit rock bottom so took a big step and got help. After mind numbingly boring days of sitting and starring into space feeling tremendous guilt towards my children that we never go out anymore. I thought it's time to sort myself out. I feel a weight off my shoulders to just admit that I have a problem so hopefully thats given me the boost to get through these horrible side effects- increased anxiety, shakes, headaches and terrible nausea. Fingers crossed I'll start reaping the benefits of the medication soon.
