Hi
I’ve been on fluoxetine for nearly 4 weeks still early days, I suffer from really bad health anxiety when my anxiety gets bad. Does anyone experience fluoxetine helping with this? At the moment I feel like I have a lump in my throat, throat feels tight and constantly swallowing, Im not sure if the fluoxetine is making me feel worse just now and mind ticking away all the time just now.
Hello
i’m on Flu for almost 17weeks.
MY anxiety was awful till around 9- 10 weeks. I was constantly was on Hrdroxyziine Pam 25mg that is antihistamine for anxiety. Mirtazapine 15mg at night also seemed to have helped me reduce anxiety. Anxiety will be gradually getting less. Please be patient.
I also suffer from health anxiety and i can safely say fluoxitine saved me. Give it time took me until around week 8 to see an improvement.
Thank you Tony for your reply, I’m just into 4wk so probably early days yet.
Thank you Tony, i appreciate your reply, will try and be more patient.
No problem at all. Any other questions don’t hesitate in asking.
Thanks Tony, I’m just feeling a bit low just now not any motivation and not sleeping great doesn’t help. I’ve got a tight throat and glands but think its just strss and all the swallowing im doing isnt helping.. We can’t get doctors appt the now so really stresses me out. Always good to hear positive reviews from people thats been through it before.
How’s things now Suzanne?
Hi, thanks for your message, I’m on wk 9 today, had a few good days lastweek but not been so great this week,still have the constant tightness in my throat, hot feeling but freezing and no motivation, still waking up in middle of the night and not getting back to sleep, as its only telephone consultations, I’m finding it hard just now. Hope your still doing good.
hi, fluoxetine really really did the trick for me, I have contamination ocd and right now my anxiety levels are sky high, without the meds I dont know where I’d be, took 4 weeks+ to notice that I wasnt noticing issues as much,
