Hi Mrs M, and may your day continue that way

[Mrsmitchell1984]

Thanks Carnation. How are you doing? X

do I get any credit for the 10mg? Or do I have to go as if I am starting from the beginning when I take the 20mg? X

The clock really starts ticking from when a therapeutic dose - 20mg for fluoxetine - is first taken, but that doesn't mean the time at 10mg was wasted. It has had an affect. Anyway, better to begin low and keep on going than quitting because starting at 20mg was too hard to handle which unfortunately is all too common.

Getting there Mrs M, thanks for asking x

[Mrsmitchell1984]

Thank you Panic Down under- so day 1 on fluoxetine is today then- not last week! My worry is that it took 10weeks last time - but that was for Post natal depression and adjusting to being a mum- so that was different. Anyway onwards and upwards- I tend to suffer side effects from the second day- so we will see what fun I have in store for me tomorrow. But the good thing about that is I start getting good days early on too (it’s just it took to 10weeks last tome for the days to be good all the time).

I managed to go to Church and do a bit of shopping - which would have been impossible yesterday. So that is progress.

I am glad to see you are getting there Carnation. It’s a sign of a good person who is going through a hard time but it also looking out for others x

You've got this day under your control Mrs M

[Mrsmitchell1984]

Feeling a bit rubbish now. Like I can’t settle. I guess I’ll just have to get used to this. X

[Carnation]

But you still achieved this morning, don't be hard on yourself, it's progression in the right direction. x

Thanks Carnation- feeling a little bit better now. Another day done!! Xxxx
