Hi Kez, consult with your Doctor before getting off maybe they can help you taper off ... Also have you tried anything natural before the meds? Try some calms forte by hylands ... Eat healthier no sugar dairy white flour wheat flour and see how that goes before anything and if worst case talk to your Doctor about Buspar if going natural doesn't help ... Buspar helped me get throughy first few months of crazy anxiety a few but light side effects and withdraw which I'm going through now since I've stopped with my Psych consent and have been juicing and eating lots of greens and much healthier I've been feeling a bit better since but just having some of the withdraw symptoms they can be a bit bothering and disturbing but I'm coping with them .. Wish this can help take care and God Bless...

hi there i've been on Fluoxtine 20mg now and within a month it started to get in to my system i've now been on them for 6 years and it took its time to get into your system but i'm surprised that at 40mg and after five weeks you still feel bad please DON'T come off them go back to your doctor Fluoxtine doesn't suit everybody, i know its bad now but trust me if you come off them it will be worse please go back to your doctors take care look forward to your reply kindest regards bigalan

Hi I took 20mg of fluoxtine and by day 3 my anxiety increased I honestly thought I was dying I felt so weak and numb so I had to come off them. My Dr prescribed me citroplam (sorry can't spell), after but I can't face taking more meds as fluoxtine really messed my head up so I'm not on any tablets anymore. still having anxiety but trying different approaches my downloading apps or reading posts on here for advice to keep it at bay until I see a therapist.. Some tablets work for some , others they don't best to go back to your drs sorry to hear how bad your anxiety is xx

Stick with them. I was in them for quite a while before they started, but now I'm like a different person. It's super hard but try to be patient and in time you will start to get better. Xxx
