Hi I've just registered this morning although I have been browsing the site for a couple of weeks now. It is reassuring that I am not alone in my battle.

I have depression and anxiety. I started on fluoxetine 7 weeks ago, initially on 20mg, which was increased to 40mg just over 2 weeks ago. I have experienced all the usual side effects of increased anxiety and panic but now that has subsided somewhat I feel the depression more, almost like the feelings of anxiety were suppressing it if that makes sense? Feel like I'm going backwards!

I am therefore keen to know if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms. Am I expecting too much too soon? I was hoping to be feeling a lot better by now. Do you think the flu is working?

thank you for your advice
regards

Raggie
