Fluoxetine buddy required! Anyone just starting and want to talk

[GC12345]

Hi I’m on day 5 of fluoxetine and could do with talking to people in the same situation xx

I’m almost 4 weeks in and still suffering with awful morning anxiety. Will this ever go x

@GC12345 I suffered from nausea for 2-3 weeks but I'm ok now.
Have you spoken to your GP?

I think I'm calmer but it's early days though. I'm finding exercise is helping my mood too.

sorry to hear that, GC12345. Any better now? Or have you been back to the GP to change the medication?

Still no better and on week 5! Still feel anxious for no reason? X

Hi all

I've just started - well on Thursday so on day 5 now.

I feel quite low and spaced out for the first few hours after taking it, but I'm unsure if that is because of the issues going on in my life anyway.

My appetite is minimal at the moment, I'm wondering if I need to start eating more or if that won't make a difference.

Been on the fluoxetine for 5 weeks and now getting diarrhoea. Anyone else get this? I also don’t feel any better yet but I know it can take longer xxx

I had to come off fluoxetine as I became neutropenic which was very scary! The dr put it down to the fluoxetine as when I stopped it my bloods returned to normal and the awful diarrhoea got better after a couple of weeks. Looks like ssri are not for me! Not sure where I can go from here 🤔
