Just to provide you with a bit of reassurance. I have been on fluoxetine on 3 previous occasions and it worked every time. I also know of a lady who has been on fluoxetine 10-15 times- and it worked every time. I also have a friend who has stopped and started citalopram 3 times and it worked each time.

However, if FLU works this time- I will not be coming off again.

I think we need a bit of hope that it will work- it’s bad enough going through all this hell without the worry that it may not work. Having said that, even if they don’t work- the chances are something else will work and there is always Lithium and ECT 🙈
