Started taking 20mg of fluoxetine about 6weeks ago for my anxiety as seems to be quite bad at mo, I'm 5months post partrum so prob to do with my hormones etc as I've always suffered with health anxiety but through pregnancy and straight after birth was absolutely fine, anyway they didn't seem to make much difference so doc upped them to 40mg about a week or so ago but the side affects aren't very nice, feel so tired, more anxious, just not myself. I know they take a while to get into your system but anyone else have this?? And when will I feel the benefits?? Any advice would be great, thanks x

I starter on 20 and I'm now on 60 with propranolol. It took a good 3 months for me to feel normal - not sure if that's normal for everyone but I would stick with them x
