I'm on my 16th day taking 10 mg of fluoxetine. When I first started I felt I was doing a little better. Still felt anxious and nauseas in morning but descent throughout the day... I was taking .5 mg of ativan, (for about 10 days just in morning) which seemed to help but stopped taking them on Tues. Wed. was ok, went to doc for check up and a flu shot. Thursday I felt nauseas all day and very down. Fri and Sat have been worse, more anxiety, depression, no appetite. I feel like I'm pushing through the days. I started the med because I can't handle the anxiety, depression and panic attacks anymore. Hoping it gets better soon...

    I hate waking up feeling anxious, having chest pains and feeling like I'm going to be sick... I just want to be able to sleep in a little and wake up feeling good... Does this ever go away??? I'm feeling very discouraged.
