Hi all. I need some advice please. I'm on 60mg of fluoxetine. I was put on this for ocd not the cleaning one. And anxiety. And also intrusive thoughts This is I'd say about the 12th week. 4 or 5 weeks into the medication I started to feel great. Thoughts more or less gone. However 12 weeks into the medication nd all the original symptoms have came back. Is there anyone else on this medication and whether this is normal. I also am feeling really down which I've never suffered with depression ever. Is what's happening normal and is there light at the end of the tunnel. Got to see psychiatrist next month so will explain everything then. But just looking for a bit of advice at the moment. Thank you so much
