I've been on 20mg for 4 weeks and 8 days on upped dose, still feel the same. I was given for anxiety and panic. is it normal to feel this terrified on this med. Im constantly at edge, I have to take xanax or i feel i cant function, i'ts becoming really hard to drive as im becoming scared to. How much longer before i see some releif? any success stories.
Hi, I'm on 20mg of fluxetine and on day 19. My anxiety levels are way up and I'm constantly on edge. I have been assured this will pass as fluxetine takes a while to work properly for some people 4 to 6 weeks (longer for some) tho if I'm still the same after 6 weeks I'm going to come off it. Stay strong x
hope it starts to help with the A soon - I would make sure you chat to someone - GP or counsellor and that way you can combine different help.
v.best
i am going to a therapist, today i thougth i had seen the light, i woke up great, drove to work , no anxiety , no panic, but now being 3pm starting to feel it creeping up, but i mostly have a huge headache, hoping this is a start of better days!
Yeah i dont know how ive come this far....if they would have told me i would have to endure all this i would have never taken it but im already in this far might as well keep going.
I imagine the upped dosage would give you a headache - no gain without pain and I hope the talking does you good and any routine - getting out for a walk or phone a friend - good you sleep - healing is a gradual thing.
take care and hope you will feel stronger day by day.
