Hi

I've been on fluoxetine for 3wks now for anxiety, I feel terrible this lastweek with sweating, shakes and body tremors, no appetite, not sleeping, dry mouth, upper back aches. Hopefully it will get better? Trying to persever for another few weeks but it's so hard, no motivation at all.

    Hello

    i've been on FLU for 16 weeks now.

    i experienced almost same side effects as you are experiencing. But i don't have it anymore. 3 weeks ate still an early stage. please be patient. Your symptoms will gradually subside. And anxiety will be less.
