Your gp has prescribed fluoxetine as it can be useful for anxiety and depression. Originally I was first prescribed sertraline but that increased my anxiety level.
I also found almost instant help on taking these meds but you do need to give them a chance. If you cannot get on with them go back to your gp.

Hi Vanecia - yes, discomfort with a new drug is common for the first month or two and it can be difficult until your system adjusts. Just roll with it. Meds affect everyone differently. Give it a chance, and if it doesn't work out there are other meds that can be prescribed. It's also important not to stop the drug just because you are feeling better without medical advice. Meanwhile, we are always here to talk.
