Day 8 on fluoxetine for depression and my motivation to do anything is at an all time low. I feel so blank and tired. I was signed off work for the depression anyway so I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that, but even just doing housework feels like such a big task. I looked in my wardrobe for about 10 minutes just trying to decide what to wear, even choosing something to watch on tv is difficult. My suicidal thoughts are better but I just struggle to feel anything at all and that’s making me think what is the point. Then the same time I’m worried that I’m making this all up and that I’m just being lazy and need to get on with things. I don’t feel any of the anxiety people mention, although have been caught in some negative thought loops.
I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance that this is Normal. I know I’m in the peak side effect phase but it’s like my brain is convincing me that it’s all my fault .
