Re: 5 weeks on fluoxetine, feeling very low
It took me 5 whole weeks before I noticed any changes.
Even now (I'm halfway through week 7) its not all constant. Some days I feel great, some days I feel really low. Overall though, I'm definitely feeling better than I have been - and I think that I'm still adjusting to the meds. Thinks like a lack of sleep, too much alcohol/sugar/caffeine can have an impact on anxiety levels, so I'd try to stay as healthy and in as much of a routine as possible, at least until you get used to the medication.
