Hey everyone. Thought I'd join in with some of the other people on here and start a diary - seems like a good idea to help others going through the same things. Already been taking it for a few days so I'll just start from today.
I've been suffering from general, social, and health anxiety for years now, and often get depressed and have insomnia. Mental illness seems to run in my family so I never had much of a chance. I've had CBT which never seemed to work with me, so thought I'd give drug therapy a try. I was given Fluoxetine a few months ago, but it made me horribly sick. Now, I take 40mg Omeprazole with it to help combat this sickness (I suffer from acid reflux and stomach ulcers so that's why it made me so sick originally).
Day 5: I didn't sleep too well last night - woke up twice and couldn't get back to sleep for ages, so I've been very tired today. I've felt sick on and off too, and have been burping a TON. Feel a bit 'out of it' and have had a headache all day. Well, I've had the sickness and headache from day 1, so I'm just hoping it clears up soon. However today I had some 'brain zap' pains for the first time which wasn't pleasant at all :/. Had quite a few palpitations (something I've been suffering with for a long time) the past few days and especially today - really worried that it's interfering with my heart :/. Mood has been very up and down, this morning I was really hyper, but then for most of the day I've felt anxious and had that sort of empty feeling inside. I really hope these work for me :(
