How much longer.....

Hi all! I'm new to the site but needed someone to talk to and advice! I've been taking fluoxetine 20mg for anxiety for about 5 weeks now! First couple of weeks were not so fun but then about two weeks in I felt way better No anxiety! Thought I was in the clear but a few days ago I started getting symptoms again, eyes feel weird, head feels weird , dizzy/off balance and weak legs! Do u guys think I should give the medicine more time? I just don't understand what's going on!! Not sure if it's the medicine messing with me or if it's anxiety, but I get so scared when these feelings come! I have three children I have to take care of and its hard because I can't even take care of myself! My husband helps as much as he can but he works also and most of the time he just doesn't understand what I'm feeling/going though!

Just feel like this will never end!!!

What do you guys think? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance! Jess
