Feeling Blank Minded/Fluoxetine

Posted , 2 users are following.

Almost six weeks in on Fluoxetine and while in some areas, there are changes, others there are not....Today, I'm feeling quite anxious and have blank thinking; like there's nothing there....so confused by this process....will I ever feel normal and have a string of good days? Do these awful effects go eventually? I just want to function, parent my son and hold a job....

    For some people it takes 6 weeks to start working really good. Unfortunately for me it is working too good and right now I feel absolutely nothing. No happiness no sadness, nothing .

    The blank thinking you are having, I also experience this , but I have fibromyalgia and I am in full menopause ( went into that at only 37 due to an emergency hysterectomy ) so I have blank and foggy moments.

    I hope someone comes along really soon back and help to you, I just wanted to post and let you know that you're not alone and people are here for you

      You were a big help...I appreciate your responding. I'm beginning week 8 and though there are some small positives, I seem to embody more of the negative.
