I was on Fluoxetine 20mg for four and a hafl weeks. I had so many side effects that after a discussion with my GP decided to come off them.
I took one as normal last Monday, then had food poisoning so probably didn't really get that dose. I then missed Tuesdays tablet - was having panic attack after panic attack at this point. I took a tablet on Wednesday and felt even worse. I haven't had any tablets since.
I still feel dreadful now - I have major nausea, I feel really weak, I keep feeling sort of faint and weird, my arms and legs feel like lead, my stomach feels upset, no appetite and just generally feel awful.
Has anyone else had these after stopping Fluoxetine?
Sounds like it - I'm having a similar problem after stopping sertraline , I only took it for 2 days so I didn't taper off it I just stopped. , haven't took any for a week now and I'm still not right I'm feeling weird with freezing cold hands and feeling faint , chills and tingling going up my head. I was on citalopram a while ago but tapered off very slowly and that seemed to help rather than just stopping.
Sorry to hear you are feeling bad too. I really hate feeling like this. I started fluoxetine to help with anxiety and agoraphobia, but I'd rather feel like I did before than like this!
Cela m'est vraiment utile car je pense à arrêter de les prendre et j'ai un rendez-vous cette semaine. J'ai pris ce médicament pendant 4 semaines, c'est absolument horrible, cela m'a fait me sentir pire plutôt que de m'améliorer. J'étais sous 20 mg de citalopram et cela fonctionnait vraiment, puis je suis passé à 10 mg et j'ai eu une rechute ! Je regrette d'avoir commencé à prendre des médicaments. Je vais essayer de simplement être moi-même et de ne prendre aucun médicament. Si cela fonctionne, tant mieux. Sinon, j'en ai assez, j'ai été si patient mais je n'en peux plus. xx
I have been taking a fluoxetine every other day now for a week, trying to come off them, up until yesterday didn't feel too bad, but today has not been as good, maybe withdrawal is kicking i don't know, I wish I had never gone on them x
