I have had a rough 3 years lost my Husband... then had a new relationship, think I was lonely looking for company, but he was the wrong company. Then last August had a knee op, took Tramadol, stopped them suddenly, didn't know to cut down, left me with anxiety, had various antidepresion tabs, but didn't agree with my thyroxine.... Went further down hill, just coming up to my 3 week on fluoxetine, have had these before, when my husband was very ill, didn't seem to get any side affects, but I am a lot worse this time, they have given me Diazepam to help while they get into my sysytem 3rd week tomorrow... I feel sometimes in the mornings that anxiety has gone worse and I shake a little, at the moment hate bumping into people i know for fear they will ask How I am, I am bored in saying still not well, too proud for this, so I avoid the issue, is this normal, I am so fed up with myself, I just want laugh and be happy again, as I have gone down hill since last August, there dosen't seem to be any help out there, unless you pay.... The best part of my day is evenings, sleep then wake up with a dread of the day, not knowing what to do with myself. How long does, on average does it take to start kicking in.... love to hear from you all.... Hilary

I think once your meds kick in it will give you some relief.
Dont hide away get involved with family and friends.
Consider therapy or support groups with people who have gone through similar things to you.
Mental illness is not easy and there are no quick fixes but you are not alone
this forum is excellent for support
