I think I have asked this before but I can't remember, can anyone tell me if you have been taking this for your Fibromyalgia, what was the side effects and has if worked. Why are we put on these, I havnt taken them yet, it puts me off as it's Prozac.

I am on these occasionally, but not all the time as they are addictive. They do help calm the nerves.

Hi littlejan

I sincerely hope that you are feeling well today? I have not actually taken these myself but I have pasted you an NHS Choices link to the pages relating to them:

NHS Choices - Fluoxetine

nhs.uk/medicine-guides/page...

I genuinely hope that you find the link useful.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I was put on these for depression, but find that it has suppressed all feeling not just the low mood. I often feel like I'm some kind of robot.

I took these once for depression, they gave me awful anxiety attacks. Everyone is different though. Make sure you get a full explanation as how these are supposed to help you. The author has given you a link to info which may help you.
