will more fluoxetine help me being so sensitive and clingy to friends? i’m 17 and not petite by any means but i have a child psychiatrist who will only prescribe me 40mg which i’ve been on for 10 months and slowly added buspar 30mg and have been steady on that combo for months even when i didn’t feel completely ok. he won’t do higher doses and that’s why buspar was added in the first place. i’ve never completely felt ok. it’s hard to describe but i’m always on edge i guess. i just don’t feel peaceful and content and whole. i feel empty and incomplete and like i’m yearning for a missing part of me and can’t relax or be satisfied with myself until i get that part. i just feel unsteady and not like i’m an entire person. i just try to figure out why i don’t feel just right or complete constantly. it’s hard to explain it’s just feeling not right and not content. like not okay just being or doing whatever. i’m just empty and incomplete and needing something to feel okay, and i don’t have that something. so i never feel okay. i always feel discontent and like i’m forgetting something and can’t relax or be at peace with myself. i really hate it and it’s hard to describe but it’s the worst feeling i’ve ever experienced and i’m afraid it’ll never go away and i’ll never feel quite right or quite there or okay or content or at ease. i just wanna be okay and not have this empty hole that sucks everything up and makes me feel so unfulfilled and to just be content and peaceful and okay and i don’t know if anyone else knows the feeling but it’s my main symptom and won’t go away and it’s the worst feeling
empty, discontent, never peaceful feeling? anyone else have this? any tips on curbing it? please!?!?
I understand completely. You have described it well.
I feel the same way and nothing, nothing brings relief.
I am sorry I cannot help you in any way, but I hope that knowing you’re not alone counts for something.
Wishing you and all of us PEACE
Hi kjk, i would not recommend fluoxetine to anyone with depression, or any other antidepressant at all. I feel they MAKE you depressed in the end you need to maybe try mindfulness or yoga or something else instead? I would consider an alternative, i have vowed NEVER to take any antidepressants again. Good luck, ask to see someone else?
