Fluoxetine advice

Thanks anyway Ashley,
 
I think it's reassuring to be able to read everyone elses concerns and know that I'm not alone. Looking forward to chatting to people :)

Hi Dani,
 
We cannot give medical advice on the forums but members can share their experiences.
 
If you have concerns about your side effects it is best to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Hi all,
 
I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder (gad) and have just started using this website and I need advice....
 
I am 3 weeks into my course of fluoxetine, I've had good days and bad, however this week I feel like I'm going backwards and getting worse. My anxiety has increased in the past few days and I feel totally spaced out and detached for around half of the day, and I am either hyper and feeling manic or extremely tired. Has anyone else been through this? I assumed after 3 weeks on 20mg a day these feelings would be disappearing by now?
 
I hope someone can shed some light...
 
Dani xx
