everyone is looking at me

[puddinmama]

Hi

expecting me to be better, its only been 3 days since I started anti depressants, I went to the gp last fri like I said I would and he prescribed me 20 mg of fluoxetine, so I have been taking them, and now I feel like the pressure is on me to just get better.

Its ramadan and I cant face fasting simply because I know the side effects will make it difficult yet every day dh asks so are u fasting today? I know he isnt meaning anything by it but it makes me feel awful to say no

I just hope that these kick in soon

thanx everyone here for the support I got to help me actually go to the gp it means alot

Hi there, I thought you were exempt from fasting if you are on medication / there is a medical reason?

Don't feel bad about it. I'm sure you show your devotion to God in other ways. Your DH should be more supportive. The first few weeks on ADs can be hard enough with the side effects, let alone when you are not eating too.

BTW ADs don't really start working for at least 2 weeks, so don't be surprised if you don't feel better straight away. Persevere though as they should start helping.

Glad you've gone to the GP and got help
