New to AD's

[AArrrggghh]

Any advice?
I think I will be on Fluoxetine. Pick them up tomorrow.

Don't worry it will be fine and if its not get them changed-usually takes 2 weeks to see an improvement-mine worked within 5 days! (after trying a few different ADs). You may feel like giving them up at times but hang in there the difference is amazing. Best of luck.

Try not to get too worried by the thought of taking them - anxiety can make you feel ill and be mistaken for side effects. I would imagine you'd be on a low dose to start with (20mg?) and it takes up to 2 weeks for the medication to build up in your system and start having an effect, so don't expect to feel massively different within the first couple of days. If you do get any side effects, try to ride it out - they usually pass within the first 2-3 weeks and then you will be able to start feeling the benefit. :)

Thanks for the replies. Can't wait to feel better. So fed up of the sleepless nights. Anything has to be better than this.
