Things Can Get Better

[silliesalamander]

Hello, people on this website that are struggling. It's gotten better for me and I thought I was a lost cause. But I am better. By a lot. I'm happy. There is hope. For any questions about my sudden turnaround, go ahead and send me a chat!

Oh that’s very encouraging, how long did it take before you felt your self again.

I have been on fluoxetine for almost 4 weeks, 20m to start and Fri put onto 40m, yesterday I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but today seem to have gone backwards.

I have had depression before just can’t remember how long it took to get better, I am pretty certain it was several weeks.

Look forward to having a chat with you.

Hi

Oh that’s great news.

How long did it take you to feel fully better?

And how long were you on antidepressants, did you have good days and then go back to feeling low mood again.

At the moment I am almost six weeks on fluoxetine started with 20m and two weeks ago it was put up to 40m, sadly for the first week of 40m I had bad side effects again, then on Mon Tues and part of Wed I felt as though the low mood and the black cloud had lifted, but then Thursday and today not feeling that good, I don’t feel happy.

I am concerned about the good days and then back to bad days again, did you experience this.

I have spoken to a few people and they have said it’s normal to get this good days and bad days, but it worries me.

I have been on this capsule before but many many years ago, I am pretty certain it took a long time before I was fully recovered.

Any help from you would be lovely.

Thank you.
