Hi all.
I was wondering what side effect experiences people have had when starting fluoxetine for a second time. I had to taper off them and was down to one every three days when I fell pregnant! and so I stopped altogether. My son is now 4 weeks and I feel like I want to go back on them.
I have had panic and anxiety for the last 16 years, but started taken meds 4 years ago after it got too much after my last child was 10 months. The thing is last time I started them I couldn't eat, sleep, look after my kids, couldn't do anything really as anxiety got so bad. However, after I got used to them .i felt better than I ever had and could cope with things that I never could.
I am worried as I now have three children, two of which have to go to school, which I am struggling with taking them and obviously a new born.. My Husband is great but I know he is scared that I will get as ill as I did last Time with the side effects.
Basically I want people's opinions on whether I should go back on them, or should I try and get through this without. Not sure how as a family we would cope if I was out of action for a few weeks.
