Hi. I have been on fluoxetine for a month now. Still having anxiety and very low feelings. I know its working a little but have only had a couple of good days. I just want to feel happy again 😥
Are you on a low dose of fluoxetine? Maybe you should ask your doctor to higher your dosage just for the time being.
Is this the first time you are feeling this bad?
I can assure you with all my heart that you will get better. I know it seems impossible, but you will look back, as I have, and know that you made it out.
What kind of anxiety are you experiencing?
Hi Brenda, take some comfort in the fact it's starting to work and you've had a couple of good days, usually it's 6-8 weeks before you feel much better so all the signs are that your going in the right direction.

Hi. I was prescribed 20mg but had terrible insomnia so my doctor told me to cut it in half. Last weekend i tried to up it to the 20 mg but was so anxious all i could do was meditate. So i went back to cutting it in half. God it is taking forever 😓
I dont know if i can take it for much longer. I just want to feel normal again 😢
Hi Brenda, I know just how difficult it can be and we all want to get back to our old selves. You are a lot stronger than you think and you will get through this, it won't be long before you see a light at the end of the tunnel.
May be you need to see your Dr again to review your meds, but as you've had a couple of good days you may start to feel better soon.

Oh something that reallllly helped me out was taking my meds after lunch time, around 1:30pm. I hate taking it at night because it makes me have horrible dreams. You can try that.
Thank you. I did contact my doctor and was advised to up it to 20 mg but it was too mych for me. Up all night and shaky all weekend. I know my body cannot handle more than 10 mg right now.
