Thanks Panicer. Don't forget it's now day 9, so more than half way through (what should hopefully be) the worst of it! I am a little anxious about the possibility of going up to 30mg next week - but I didn't suffer nearly as much when they doubled the fluoxetine dose to 40mg, so fingers crossed.
I actually did have a beer (three if I'm honest) last night. Didn't actually feel any worse for it this morning but, before you get any ideas , i didn't feel any calmer, just got sleepy more quickly.
