Fleuxotine 20mg. Looking to increase/ Ride it out
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi, I've been on 20mg Fleuxotine dose for 18 months for anxiety/ panic symptoms. Have been feeing great the last 12 months however had a trigger last week which sent me into a full blown attack, currently feeling quite severe anxiety/ panic attack hangover now on day 5 not feeling any better.
My Dr has advised to increase to 40mg but im scared and dont want to risk the severe side effects associated with upping the dose. He also advised there is a chance that i may 'ride' this attack out and there is a chance that i may regulate again on the 20mg. Has anyone else had success 'riding' the wave without increasing??

hi mick, im with you and understand as these things are scary, like when i go back on medication, i hate taking those things. so ill try and help but ill share what ive been advised too because im feeling abit how you are now and im still in the process as im waiting for a dr appointment. so basically ive got severe anxiety etc but last week had the first panic attack on my own which very scary and tiring. so basically ive been told by the therapy sessions i go to that taking escitalopram is best for anxiety and panic attacks so obviosly ill talk to my dr first but i thought if share because i was on citalopram before and didnt really do much for me but now i know i can very easily go in a panic state and think of intrusive thoughts etc , hopefully it helps treat that. just thought id share a little of my story and ive realised we're in this together and i hope ive helped you in some way but if its something you feel would help more like i do then id suggest talk to your dr and see what he/she thinks
