I'm into week 7 of taking fluoxetine (Prozac). The only other experiences of this drug where when I was pregnant and had ante natal depression so I'm not sure what was side effects and what was normal pregnancy sickness etc... It took me about 10 weeks to feel remotely better those times. I'm feeling physically stronger just now but still so down and struggling to sleep well (not babies fault either, he's 10 months and luckily a good little sleeper) I feel nauseous a lot of the day too. Everything is still a real effort and although I am getting out and about a bit I'm not enjoying stuff, more just enduring it to shut all the folk up who keep telling me I just need to keep busy and everything will get better. I'd love to hear any encouraging words from someone either in the same situation as me or someone who has come through the other side. I'm really tired battling up this huge mountain everyday and wondering if these tablets are ever going to kick in.
