Changed from citalopram to fluoxetine!

2 Days ago my GP changed me from Citalopram to Fluox, leaving the citalopram off completely and just replacing it with 20mg Fluoxetine. Needless to say I am not feeling great and fear the worst is to come. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing and approximately how long did it take for F to replace the previous medication, whatever it may have been. Any help anyone can will be GREATLY appreciated as I just want to get back to being myself, and that hasn't been so for the last 6 months!!!!!!!

Hi Yeldham

I found that flu took approx a week and a half to start to help me feel better

its just a matter of hanging on hun x
