Back with a vengeance

[Lucky-]

Soo. I’ve not posted in here for a while as I was doing so good! A few months back my doctor put me on Fluexotine 20mg per day for my anxiety and it helped SO much! The past few weeks tho have been such a stressful time for me and my anxiety has came back HARD! Today I woke up and I’m uncontrollably sweating, all the time! I’m dizzy, feel faint, have that really bad nervous feeling in my stomach for no reason, and the bad headaches! Is anyone else on this medication and feel like they need to up it? If so how did this go for you? I feel like there just not having the same affect any more and when I feel like this due to anxiety I get so so scared! I can’t deal with it! Any reply would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Lucky, the fact that the last several weeks have been a stressful time for you can play

into your symptoms breaking through the medication. Give your prescribing doctor a

call letting him know of the current break through as well as any OTC medications you

may be taking. Sometimes this can exacerbate the side effects of the meds we're on.

Let us know with an update if your doctor decides to up your dose. I've been through

the symptoms you are having and it sounds like your anxiety got a little out of control

once again.

It might help to set up a few talk therapy sessions in order for you to express the stress

you've been under recently. Also try focusing on some "me time" by listening to

Meditation on YouTube as well as calming down your breathing.
