i am on day 34 of 40mg fluoxetine i have seen some improvements but i have had agoraphobia for 5 years now i also have PTSD due to a health issue a few years ago which was quite serious anyway i know the meds will work as im seeing little improvements but im still not leaving the house for anything i only can walk to the shop havent socialised in over 5 years and dont have any friends anymore due to isolating myself anyway i was just wondering will the 40mg flux heal my agoraphobia and make me able to go back to work as havent worked in 6 years due to agoraphobia

thanks

    ah i dont know about agoraphobia

    but im happy to be your friend. if you use the analogy of me being off work and slowly starting to come round to it. you should start to feel less worried in social environments. or even getting back to basics. speak to your gp about an antipsychotic at a low dose. this has helped me greatly. i take promazine.feels like a shield
