Did this medicine ever work for anyone else?
Yes, it worked for me, but the first couple of weeks on it are difficult and you have to keep taking it to settle things down. However, fluoxitine does not suit everyone, just as paroxitine is notorious for not working for some people- even giving worse symptoms such as suicidal thoughts. You may already know that you cannot just stop taking it either, just because you start to feel better! It takes a good month to start feeling more normal.
Hope this helps.
Hi, yes it helped me for 5 years and then unfortunately I needed more help. David.
Hi, Agree with what Winegod (?) had to say. Yes it takes a while to get into your system, and when it does the diferences are subtle ie you start to feel more comfortable, but nothing dramatic. Quite gentle really. You realise how well it was working when you feel better and stop taking it.
I think it's worthwhile pointing out Fluoxitine is for depression. If that helps with dealing with your anxiety, then great. I needed something specific for the anxiety and have found Lyrica works well combined with Fluoitine. Neither normaly have significant side effects; but we are all different.
Remember you are not only different, you are also special. There's only one of you, which makes it vital to get the best you can get.
Good luck,
Alex
it worked for me for over a year although it has some side effects with some people.
Every one is different.
