Hand hold please! Starting fluoxetine today

[sunflower1993]

Hi everyone,

You may have seen some of my (very much pedantic and neurotic) posts over the last 11 weeks.

I suffer from anxiety and OCD and at 13 weeks pregnant have finally decided to go back on fluoxetine. This is after extensive research, chats with GPS, multiple midwives etc. I've pretty much had the worst few months of my life and I can't wait to start being able to enjoy my pregnancy again.

I could do with a bit of encouragement as I am terrified for some reason. In the past, fluoxetine has started working for me within day. It's the medication that makes me feel like me again.

hey, I've been on fluoxetine for the last 2 years and stopped taking then when I found out I was pregnant, feel very out of sorts and not myself at all, started taking them again at around 16 weeks and was fine, I'm 34 weeks now and still take them everyday.

I understand your situation completely 👍🏻, good luck with the pregnancy ❤️
