I've been prescribed 20mg fluoxetine to help with my anxiety/depression which has been brought on again as im trying to decide whether to leave dh. I've suffered from depressiona nd anxiety in the past and it is often brought on in response to stressful events. I took seroxat about 10 yeara ago and whilst it levelled my mood (probaly too much) it also made me put on over 2 stone and was hellish to get off. tried citalopram which helpted my mood but agian made me put on weight - abput a pound a month for the 10 months i took it - not good. Doc has now given me prozac as she said less likely to cuase weight gain and fairly easy to come off, but question is will it help me? Will it "clear" my head of all the "clutter" and help me make a decison?
