Hi Tanyat,
sorry you are having a bit of a rough ride on the increase, maybe it will settle in a couple of days, surely it cant be the same as when you first start meds as you already have some in you system. Thinking of you, keep posting & let us know how its going xxx

Question?? Does anyone feel more anxiety during the evening?? Or night?

[stormyok10]

Hi Tanyat,
I seem to relax more on an evening,most of the time.
Mornings are a nightmare for me, hate them, cant seem to concentrate on anything, or settle down,
When is your worst time? How long have you been on meds now? xx

Yes Tanya, I had some dreadful evenings, it seems like the symptons came in waves most days and some parts of the days were worse than others but some days i could not settle with the restlessness all day.

Hi Tanyat. I hope you feel better today. This is my 18th day and i mornings and afternoons are the worst, however i have bad evenings and nights too. What week are uou on medication? hugs

Just wondering has any had violent thoughts, and if so has that pass with time?? I'm such a passive person. Never thinking violent thoughts and I know find myself thinking some stupid things. I'm a little concerned and hope this does not continue

Hi Tanyet,
Am sure it will be the increase in your tablets that is messing with your mind, hopefully it will settle down in the next few days. Take care & keep in touch, we all need each other for support xx

Hi Tanyat , yes it must be tablets playing with your mind. I experience derealization which is scary sometimes as it feels like I totally loosing my mind. I am very calm person too but since my anxiety/ depression and now Fluox I feel really angry inside without any reason. I hope it will go away soon. Is anyone else experience derealization ?

[tanyat]

I totally can relate. It's a scary feeling. I'm on week seven, but my doses have been changed. I was on 10mg for the first week, then 20mg for four weeks and now 30mg for one week. I'm so mentally tired. I also cannot get myself to drive. Not understanding this fear, it's destroying my life. I think also my evening are rough because that is when I take my meds.

I hope you ladies start feel better soon. We will get through this. All this will be behind us xxxx

Hi Tanya, I hope you are feeling good today it is possible that you feel bad in the evening becouse of tablets. I take mine around 11am and my afternoons are the worst. Feeling very tired and anxious . It is getting better around 7pm.
