Hi all......just needed to off load a little..
I will have been taking flu 20mgs for 5 weeks on Thursday and i am feeling progressively worse each day.....i really don't think this is normal and can't remember it taking this long to work last time. I feel sooo down its unreal and feel really ill with it....sick, headaches, upset tum etc etc!
I am back to the docs today to see what they suggest....i can't help but feel i was better off not taking any meds at all!! I do hate this b***dy illness!
Sorry for the rant...hope you are all having a good day xx

MY OLD SELF. IT'S SO LONG SINCE I FELT HAPPY IT'S UNREAL.

Hi guys....thanks for responding to my rant!!
Well, went back to see the doctor at the Community Mental Health Team and he suggested putting up the dose to 40mgs.....i was not too keen on this as when i did this with the Citalopram i felt DREAFUL....and oddly enough, when i was taking 10mgs Fluoxetine i felt really good! so we have decided to compromise and try me on 10mgs again for a few weeks and see how that goes.....if not....perhaps i will try the higher dose?
Im a bit of an odd case me thinks!!! :shock: I will let you know how i get on xx Hope you are all well xx
