Has anyone stopped Fluoxetine after7 days?

[Lady Penelope]

Thank you so much panic_down_under you have been such a great help this week. Think I am going to give up completely with fluoxetine as I cannot cope with the side effects. I had forgotten how bad they can be. I know they would work eventually but the side effects are unbearable even on such a low dose. I really though I could power through but yesterday was the worst day ever with major panic attacks and nausea. I have done a referral for CBT which I found useful a few years ago.
I notice that you are very active on this forum and I’m sure everyone appreciates your replies.

Maybe discuss the problems you're having when you return from your holiday as there are ways of minimising these side-effects. Or perhaps switch to another AD.

Cool. CBT can be at least as effective as ADs. The main problem with the psychotherapies is the difficulty accessing them.
