Hello all,
I've just been to the docs and basically broke down in front of him after a series of terrible days, mostly involving my heart going nutso!
He has prescribed me Fluoxetine (20mg) and Diazepam (2mg) to take while the Fluoxetine settles.
I have taken a Diazepam but haven't noticed any real improvement after taking it 35-40 minutes ago. I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take to kick in but I thought I was supposed to be quite quick.
I'm scared to take the Fluoxetine after suffering so badly with side effects and extremely heightened anxiety when I tried Citalopram and Sertraline in the past. I know that it will likely be worth it in the end but I just feel so scared of the first month or so, and I have a 3 year old to care for who I don't want to feel ignored or like her mummy is too terrified to do anything fun!
Help :(
