Hi Paul.

I have been on Fluoxatine now for seven weeks I too have no motivation I have terrible bloated feeling in my stomach and also feel tired and have morbid thorghts

Same here I feel tried all the time don't want to do anything as well. Told my doctor and she to take it in the afternoon and not in morning so I am going to try that x

It took me 12weeks to feel OK on 20mg then was fine for 8weeks but its just keeping back in again so started 40,mg and I'm scared I'll be a zombie again. It does pass (20mg is all I know) but it takes awhile b strong x

Hows your day been?

Hi, this time round I have been on them for around 2 weeks. The first time I went on them a couple of years ago once I got to about 8 weeks I suddenly felt amazing. It's well worth staying on them as I remember how brilliant they were, I felt the best I had felt in years and realised I must have been going downhill for a long time and not noticed.

This time round I don't feel very positive but I think that's actually down to the meds. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel though!

I hope there is a light at the end of tunnel just want my old life back x

I know there is, I should have stayed on them then I wouldn't be going through this again. I keep reminding myself of how I felt the last time. 

I am currently at the bloating and tired stage, I am sleeping ok, just feel tired all the time. I remember that from before and I remember how I felt when they kicked in and these feelings wore off.....I am counting down to 8 weeks.

We can beat this! X

Hope we can I am tried all the time just want to sleep but it's hard when you got a 5 year x

Hiya

Yes took me a while longer, more like 12wks but had other medical stuff going on which held me back. Did inrease to 30mg too but not til then.

Im 17wks ish now and feel better than I would have believed I could a few months ago. There is a brighter place, hope its just round the corner for you!

Best of luck n take care (and yes exercise helps more than anything!!!)
