Struggling more today than normal, not 100% reason why but it’s just me dipping more than normal - have been on fluoxetine but doesn’t seem to be doing much - anyone else have this experience?

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply. I don’t seem to have any side effects just doesn’t appear to have any effect - I was gonna give the docs a call in a few weeks if nothing changed but may bring that forward to next week thank you again

I’d say that if the medication isn’t helping you then tell your doctor you want off of it. Not every medication works for everyone. There are many options out there for you to try!

Hi, thank you for taking the time to read and reply. I’m going to ring my GP on Monday before I go to work and see if they can change what I’m on

If it's not helping you, then I'd say it's time for a change to another med.

Then there's the seasonal shift, maybe you're affected by that now.

Hi thank you for replying. I’d not thought about seasonal shift and it could well be linked to that will have a read up about it. Thank you
