Been getting amazing support from this forum and just wanting more reassurance that someone else has felt like this at week 12 on fluoxetine, I also take 80mg propranolol.

Since Sunday I have been feeling as bad as I did before taking the meds, very bad worries, negative thoughts, suicidal thoughts, anxiety burning inside of me, sweats and hot rushes, shivers, nearly being sick, scared to be alone, don't want to speak and really low mood.

Has anyone else had it come back as bad as before taking meds at this stage or give me some advise.

Don't know whether to go back to the doctors tomorrow but feel like I don't know how I'm going to make it through the night.

I have been having moments of feeling my old self until Sunday but now I feel like iv back to square one.

      It will settle...... it also took ages for me and not pleasant at all. Even when it did I had a week thinking I was back at square one. Then it settled again, then as couple off bad days a week later but it all settles. Just don't be tempted to stop of change dose.....
