Hi Everyone,
Just go let you all know, I have been feeling a lot better 👍🏽 Still I'm aware this is s journey so taking my time...currently I'm in bed it's 14.24 in the afternoon, the fatigue is so much I really don't have much energy, just wondering if I should take my medication at night instead of the morning? Does anyone else suffer with fatigue? In addition although I'm not having extreme sucidual thiughts, the feelings I have no emotions ect are consent, will this improve? Or is it me? Are the feelings and thoughts going to continue ? Or will they go when I have full recovey? 🙄 Will my motivation for life come back? Oh and someone tell me how to communicate on these forums properly as I have to go through all comments 🙈 Would love to keep in regular contact, maybe we should open up a fb grp ( private) what do you think? ❤️
Hi Angie,
I'm starting my 8 th week on fluoxetine and feel pretty much the same as you. I've always taken mine in the evening and every afternoon I could take a nap. I noticed around the 6 th week I have had some really good days, from what I've read in other discussions on here we just have to be patient.
Sorry I don't have the answers but it's comforting to know the way we feel seems normal.
Always good to hear someone is better and making progress. I get the no emotions and fatigue. Some days are better than others. I take mine in the evening. For me it's taken along time for my brain to adjust and figure out what is going on. Not a fan of fluoxetine but I'm better in some ways and no change in others or I should say, altered. One day at a time and pray alot. I pray for this forum daily. I understand how difficult life is with this condition.
Thanks for your post.
Angie, the fact that you no longer have suicidal thoughts and feeling a little better is sign of improvement, so I think over time all the other symptoms could go too!
My negative and anxious thoughts are improving after week 8. They do come back at times but they bother me less, I have sort of started to have some perspective on things, able to rationalise a bit better and remain calmer when the anxiety hits. Also my motivation suddenly improved in the last week too...I was almost shocked when yesterday I managed both get myself go out for a run and also go to a drawing class, and made a new friend there too... just a little glimpse of getting the old myself back. So be patient dear, sending you hugs x
