Fluexotine has me ready to give up !!!!

[Els92]

I started fluexotine back in September the beginning, after four weeks of total hell with every side effect and increased anxiety my doseage was increased to 40mg. I've now been on 40mg about 4 5 weeks and I'm still up and down like a yoyo. No energy not wanting to get out of bed and face the day, scared as soon as I get up and try to function the anxiety is going to hit, got no interest in anything, appetite is shocking, not cleaning or taking care of my self like a usually would. Anxiety keeps comming from no where horrible heart sinking sensation and total fear comming over me like something bad is going to happen does anybody else get that ? A can't focus my thoughts my heads like cotton wool.

During the week I'm up getting kids to school shopping cooking cleaning etc but I can't wait to get back to bed. Weekends are worse because I don't have that routine of having to be up early. I'm also 7 months pregnant could alot of this be hormone related ? I've been on fluexotine during every pregnancy and never felt like this.

I've been through alot this past 18 months, I have a blood clot on the main vessel in my brain, my youngest son's father was murdered 7 days before he was born, then his murder trial, just having a baby his funeral my grief my anxiety and depression. I was doing so well until it hit about 9 10 months, fell pregnant unplanned and I'm just rock bottom can't seem to pull myself back up no matter how hard I'm fighting every day 😰😰😰

You have been through alot! I would call my doctor and see if I could try some other medication….I would talk with a counselor! This is just what I would do

First of all, there is hope!! Treatment will work. A doctor can get you some immediate relief while you get referred to a psychiatrist who can prescribe the best meds for pregnancy. You are accomplishing a lot in the midst of this! Be good to yourself. I am in the process of treatment for anxiety and am starting to see good results. Deep breathing is helping me a lot and speaking positive, truthful thoughts to myself when the anxious thoughts come. I am praying for your healing.
