Re: Back on Fluoxetine for depression - now desperately anxious
Hi
Just reading your posts on Fluoxetine - can I just say I was on this fantastic med for 15 great years and the starts up effects were very bad anxiety. Please stick with it it will pass - it is a fantastic a/d. It pooped out in Oct 2011 after some trauma and tbh cannot find one as good - have felt so ill since and dark depression. The other SSRIs are not a patch on it. My psychiatrist - yes I am that bad - is trying me on Effexor XL on Saturday just preying it works aswell as Prozac - just want my old life back.
I will be honest did not start to feel really well until around 8 weeks but was bad before, but side effects lasted a couple of weeks for me anyway. Everything takes ages to work for me!
Good luck and stick with it
Laura
