so i'm post menopausa ladies l , i started the menopause age 48 , now i am 53 this year still having hot flushes and tiredness which is so bad ! doctor gave me Fluoxitine because i had a break down .. my weight is off the scale now and i feel like fluoxitine has caused my weigh gain .. just wondering how long i should be on them i have had mental health issues TIA
Hi there , Ive been on them about 2 years now and they do help , I found these better for me than setraline .
Ive put on around 2/3 stone though as they make me hungry so its a double edge sword as my mind is better !!
Stick with them for a while as it will help you .
being a woman is just not fun past 40 yrs ive had nothing but issues x
first I want to assure you we’re all in this together I had my share of anxiety and depression for 2 years believing I was dying very soon couldn’t leave the house couldn’t drive thinking the worst I refused to take any medicine cause I knew it wasn’t me this site helped me alot to understand what my body was going through but took interest in what I was eating gradually I noticed some symptoms lifting slowly I started walking and gentle exexercises and now I can say I see the light my confidence is back I’m driving I’ve lost some weight though once in while anxiety comes but it doesn’t worry me i know it won last so hang in there it will eventually pass
Hello..my dr just prescribed that for me…was wondering any side effects that I should be aware of that you have experienced?
