Does anyone have any adverse affects after drinking? My anxiety is thru the roof. X

I didn’t realise it might be a thing. I take it in the morning and I’m only on 10mg but I didn’t have issues at 20mg either.

@Lovepeaceunderstanding I'm on 60mg and propranolol. I'm going to give it a break for a bit and see if it helps. I just wondered if it was a me thing or other folk get it too x

@Dawn1331 , you should really speak to your doctor about cutting down before stopping altogether. I’m on such a low dose and tried to stop and felt almost instantly rubbish. My plan is to start taking my tablet every other day before I stop altogether. You could also speak to your GP about an alternative. Good luck. X

I didn't but alcohol really increased my anxiety unfortunately, with or without Fluoxetine.
