I have decided to take the tablets prescribed by the doctor. I have tried everthing not to. Sertaline and amitriptyline both gave me awful side effects and felt no better. I am on day 5. Felt a bit shaky today but ok otherwise. I would be grateful for any positive feed back on fluoxetine. I have had anxiety for years but not depression

My experience was that it gave me my life back. I took it for a while and then came off it. I was on the lowest dose and that was enough. It meant I could live life as normal and I was actually quite productive when on it. Wishing you peace and health.

Hiya James thank you so much for that. It really reassures me. I’m only on the first week and still feel anxious but I know it’s early days. I hope you’re keeping well xxx
