starting fluexotine

[Els92]

im currently 20 weeks pregnant and been put on fluexotine 2 weeks ago because i could feel my mood dipping and bursts of anxiety starting again. however since starting the tablets i feel 1000 times worse, shakes, sweats, inside body trembling, no appetite, dry mouth, leg and hand shaking heart sinking and petrified omething bad is going to happen. heads all foggy carnt concentrate and cant settle the severe anxiety especially on a morning. has anybody else been like this and please tell me its improved and got better ? dont know weather to give up and try something new or keep going and pray im nearly half way to it being in my system

i dont understand how there making me feel so much worse. are they making me worse or am i actually going insane and never going to get better ? why is anxiety 1000 times higher on a morning ? im so frustrated

I wake up in a total panic everyday and have for years. I can’t take ssri drugs they make me sick. I take 15 mg mirtazapine been in it 11 years. Not the greatest drug but it helps me a little. I also take Ativan and Xanax. I hate anxiety. With me I can’t eat so I am a very skinny person. I wish anxiety made me hungry instead of nauseas.

Aww that's awful to hear. I'm sorry you have such a difficult time with anxiety. Ive tried several ssri and get horrible side effects from them all but I'm on week six now with increased dosage and a don't feel anywhere near as bad as a did

Hi there have things settled down? Im starting today and slightly worried about the side affects at first

Hiya, yeah they have, im almost at week 5 and had my dose increased to 40mg. I also take mine before bed rather than on a morning. Remember everyone is different and you may not experience a single side effect.
