Fluoxetine, anxiety 'rushes' in the morning

[NewName123]

Hi I have been on Fluoxetine for 6 weeks now. In the last couple of weeks I have been getting off to sleep OK but waking at around 5am. If something comes into my head that may make me feel a bit anxious I am having like an adrenaline rush where my whole body goes fizzy. It's not a nice feeling. I am also quite tired in the mornings which seems to improve through out the day. On the whole I am feeling brighter and calmer which is good.
Has anyone else had this? I am thinking of trying some magnesium at bed time for relaxation?
Many thanks x

Yes, I absolutely get this in the early days of taking fluoxetine. It's a horrible feeling :(. It doesn't last many weeks and passes once they are in your system fully.

thank you sugar, woke again this morning feeling weird. It's not a nice feeling. Been on it 6 weeks now though, is there still time for it to pass?

If I can recall, it wore off 6-8 weeks after starting so hopefully not too much longer for you. It's a grim way to begin the day. Do speak to your gp if the symptoms don't ease soon x
