Fluoxetin will ruin your life!!

Hi,I'm sorry to hear about your troubles and feel for you. could this possibly lead to someone doubting their relationship or irrational thoughts similar? As my girlfriend,well ex now has been on them and stopped and started and since she has all of a sudden ended me and her out of the blue and it's coincides with these tablets and also she's been really low and in a dark place her mum says. It's totally out of character for her.

Obviously it was not the right medicine for you and that was to be determined between you and your doctor. However, this medicine has worked wonders for others so for you to throw out a blanket statement of "Fluoxetin will ruin your life!!" is ludicrous. In the words of the great Jeffrey Lebowski... "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

Hi Sheryl, sorry to hear you are going through a rough time, and you lost your job, well when your better you can always get another job, the main thing is you still have your family, and that is more important than any job, you need your family right now, and all they want for you is for you to get better.......I myself are reducing off Fluoxetine, every other day for this last week, felt okay for a couple of days, and now my anxiety is through the roof, usually go okay of a night, but not tonight, hope tomorrow is better, and I was only on Fluoxetine 10.5 weeks, as Tramadol from a knee op left me with a chemical imbalance causing severe anxiety, but I lost too much weight on Flu and I was going worse not better, but i must admit coming off them isn't any better, i just hope I am coming near to being noemal again,,,, hope everthing goes okay with you..... Hilary  

I only came off this medication, as it did not go with other medication I was on, but i do have a friend, with Eplepsy, and Fluoxetine has really helped her, in fact saved her life..... so this does not apply to everbody, it certainly helps most.... Hilary  

I am having the same experience with this med. I have only been on it for 8 weeks and the last 2 weeks i changed to 40mg. Since changing to 40mg my anxiety has been ridiculous and i have had derealization big time nd all of what u have sed. I really want to try something else becuse i feel like it isnt working for me but it is worrying tht fluoxtine can stay in the system for a longer time than most meds.
