Feeling really anxious today
Posted , 4 users are following.
Im on day 8 of fluoxetine and although its not terrible side affects i do feel tired, nauseous, anxious and strong heartbeat where i can see my left breast moving because its that strong. Can this happen with anxiety or does that mean my heart is beating to fast? Ive always been told my heart is fine but sometimes its been fast when im anxious. I nearly had a panic attack in the shower because my heart started to race and i could see it pounding away when i looked down at my chest. I just feel weak,dizzy and scared. I slept great last night because the tabs make me so tired but i also had been crying that evening feeling scared and helpless. Will this all get better if i stay on fluoxetine or is it making me worse? I dont know anymore im just so sad and confused as to why i feel like this all the time.x

This is all very typical of anxiety and also medicine side effects. The dizziness and nausea is absolutely a side effect of fluoxtine (Im on it I know) in the beginning the side effects were awful... Then as my body got used to it, the side effects started going away. As for the rapid heart beat, that's classic anxuety. Give the meds a chance, it gets worse before it gets better. Hang in there okay?? If you need a chat feel free to chat with me
