Help with anxiety - day 16 back on fluoxetine. I feel horrible in mornings

[CalifMomma]

Hi all,I need some help. I took flu for years and never remember side effects like this. I was also a moderate to heavy drinker so maybe that nullified it? Anyway I quit drinking and started up on flu 16 days ago and the last couple of days have been hell. I feel like I need to check in somewhere or something. I have 4 kids and I haven’t been able to deal with a lot of their stuff . My spouse has taken time off of work to help but this can’t go on forever. Any advice? Thank you.

I've been on it 19 days and I am a mess.just when I think I'm getting better boom it comes right back. I feel like I can't walk I feel like I can't feel my arms I don't know if I'm coming or going I'll sleep few hours Then I'm wide awake. I'm a Zombie at work. I was taking off Celexa and put on this so I'm figuring maybe it's the withdrawal from the other and then side effects from this one I don't know but it's been rough feel better soon

Some times the side effects will play havoc, talk to your Dr. you may need a lower dose or another antidepressant. More power to you to stop drinking. Have you thought about talking to a therapist? Or joining a support group - they are invaluable. Hang in there, glad your husband is supportive. We are here for you. I send you energy and strength, also love and peace. Sprinkle 1.
