Today has been a better day

[Luke1995]

Today has been such a better day for me today thankfully, i have not had any panic attacks today and hopefully dont get any. Iv been trying so hard today (to the point I'm now completely exhausted) to just keep telling myself that my health anxiety/ hypochondria is just all in my head and that it can't beat me if I am bigger then it. I have had the tingly feelings but soon got them under control thankfully.

Plus my doctor has rang me up to say double the dose of my fluoxetine from 20mg to 40mg, anybody else had to go up on dosages and did it make you feel better or worse

any suggestions on taking you mind of your health so I can sleep in peace for once ??

I have insomnia. I can't help you there. I would try meditation before bed. You can find a lot on YouTube.

I was put on 40 mg of fluoxetine 3 weeks ago. Week 1 was fine. Week 2 was low appetite. I am on week 3 and its nausea and no appetite. I went to the doctor and she says to give it 2 months!!!!! Anyone have similar experiences? I know it is helping anxiety but the nauseous and no appetite is so hard to tolerate. Did side effects stay with you that long?
