I’ve always suffered with mild anxiety for as long as I can remember but nothing that particularly interfered with my day to day life. 3 months ago I had a full blown panic attack out of nowhere (don’t know what triggered it) and thought I was literally about to die. Since that day I’ve had a few more panic attacks but what’s worse is the anxiety. I went to the doctors and they have put me on 20mg fluoxetine (Prozac) I am 3 1/2 weeks into taking them now. Last week I felt like I was getting a little better, I had a huge surge of energy that lasted a couple of days. But now I am having bad anxiety again, have been really tearful today, feeling guilty, agitated and almost lost. I have a friend that told me to stick with it because she was a bit all over the place at first and felt worse but then felt loads better. I have scoured the internet to read about other people’s experience but most seem negative.
Can anyone tell me if they felt worse but then did get better!!! And also what sort of timeline did it work! Like is it possible I’m at the worst point before I get better???
Any advice would be extremely appreciated xxx
