Hi
Have been prescribed fluoxetine this morning for depression. Really nervous about it and I am really worried about any potential side effects and reading that the first couple of weeks taking ad's can be really difficult. Doctor was quite reassuring but I really would appreciate anyone's input on what they are like in rl (although I know people react differently to an extent) and what coping strategies are good etc. I work full time and am a single mum with a 2.4 yo DS and taking time off/ being signed off sick for a couple of weeks aren't really options for me at the moment.
Am starting counselling in a couple of weeks time which should also help but I'm just really dreading the next couple of weeks in case I react really badly to them.
Thanks!
