Hi hope your all well. So I've been on fluoxetine 20mg for 3 weeks than docs upped my dose to 40mg and now it's been 7 weeks since I've been on antidepressants. I feel a lot better more energy to do things but I've noticed in my head am not 100 percent yet like am still a bit lost and confused and the thoughts keep playing in my head I just don't care about them as much but am still worrying a lot and it's like am I keep thinking if am ever gonna be 100 percent myself like I was before full of confidence and just being myself. It's like am still a bit scared and nervous and don't know what being like myself is anymore. Any advice would be appreciated xxx

Anyone .? Please

Sorry no advice I've just started antidepressants myself, but here to offer a hand to hold and bump your post.

Bump

CishAndFips it does get better it depends why u on them. The reason I went on them was I started getting intrusive thoughts which stressed me out so much that I got anexity and depression came along with it. The depression lifting but the negative ruminating and not trusting myself like I was before and lack of confidence is still not coming back. My doctor says it can take up to 3 to 6 months to fully benefit but I just want to quickly get back to my normal self..!!

I meant am still not fully confident in myself like I used to be

I've been on anti depressants for 8 weeks for "major depressive disorder " they've taken the edge off but I still feel flat.

That's exactly how am feeling am just scared I might get to comfortable feeling like this and won't want to come out my nutshell.

But hopefully fingers crossed it shall pass
