I am a 25 year old woman recently diagnossed with anxiety and depression. For this reason my Dr prescribed me with 10 mg of fluoxetine at the begining i was feeling a little better but now that i have been on it for 18 days i have not been feeling like myself. I feel disconnected and emotionless is this normal? When will i feel like myself again?
hi erika hows things i was prescribed flueoxetine 20 mg i feel very detached disinterested and generally cant be bothered with any thing started on flue 2 weeks tommorow the doc reckons my deppression was triggered by carer stress and all the stresses and strains associated with my role as a full time carer for my mum this kinda keeps me focused but find it quite hard going trying to explain to my mum how iam feeling when asked .Havent felt to brill since friday starting to get some more side affects ie some joint pain feel quite agitated and edgy but keep going they say every one reacts differently to flue hope you feel better soon take care regards grahamj
Yes this is normal as I was the same, I've been on them for nearly two months now and I'm only just starting to feel normal again, it might take less time for you as everyone is different but they do take a while to work and made me very spaced out and numb with emotions at first, hope you feel better soon x
hi jo its really nice to talk to someone who can really understands or really knows how iam feeling because from looking at someone face 2 face you cant really tell whats goin on in their heads or they keep saying i know how you feel i reply sorry youve got know idea how i feel and sometimes get quite emotional or perhaps quite angry having to justify how i feel.brief history the doc reckons my depression was triggered by carer stress looking after my mum it would be nice to here other peoples stories and experiences and coping strategies only if you like to share them have also developed a queezy yawn as i would describe it yuck better go take care grahamj x
