hi, new to this but have been reading all the threads and could really do with some reassurance. have been on fluoxetine for three weeks and I know its side effects, but they are so hard to handle, I feel I will not be my normal self again and have many concerns. hopefully someone will reply and we can help each other.

So have decided to do a diary like others have done on here, in the hope it helps and supports other.
Currently on 20mg fluoxetine for 3 weeks, as Iam starting from week three I will just post my experience from today.
Better day today, I had herbal nytol to help me sleep which helped to relax my body and I did not have any body twitches whilst falling asleep, and it seemed to calm down the awful buzzy feelings in my legs. I think at the moment the worst part is this got to be doing something, can't seem to sit down for long.........agitation/restless I guess but I can't seem to put a name to this feeling..........it's definitely one of I have to do something, but what, I do not know. Checking in with doctor tomorrow, so I shall post how that goes.
I really hope someone replies to this, as it would be great to get positive feedback from people, as we can all benefit from this support.
Apologies for my writing, am lacking in emotion at the moment.
