Hi, erm this is all new to me. Not entirely sure what I'm doing on here. I've been prescribed fluoxetine recently. I've not started to take it yet. Its making me feel really anxious about starting it. I suffer from depression it's getting worse now. I don't want to do anything or be around anyone. And I keep crying which is annoying me as I don't want to but can't help it. It's happening at any random times. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Blue, Welcome

I are at the start of a journey, you have been given the first aid to help you. If you do not take your medication you cannot start your journey and get better

You may suffer side affects, however these will become less as you get used to this drug.

You need to allow five weeks possibly to feel any benefit. In the broader sense.

You have nothing to be concerned about, neither are you alone. We can give support when needed, You need to move on. There are other treatments your GP may suggest.

You are in Partnership with your GP when it comes to your Health Concerns.

Stop worrying, REGARDS MEDICATION

Thanks for your advice/help. I've started the medication and feel awful. The nausea that has set in won't let me eat anything not that I've been eaten much lately but now it's a lot worse.

I hate the way I've been feeling prior to the medication the hopelessness, the crying at random times and just totally overwhelmed. I wish I could get rid of feeling like this and go back to being the 'me' I used to be..

Not what you're looking for?
