    Hi christine, from what i've read on this forum this is normal and that recovery is full of ups and downs but as you get further on the downs become less and less frequent. I'm on week 5 myself and have experienced high anxiety this past week out of nowhere so know how you're feeling! Hoping this will settle for the both of us soon x

    Hey you,

    Yes, no worries, I had just the same as you. I am now 57th day of flouxetine 20mg and I just have five days in a row which are amazing. So stick with it and the blips are completely normal. You are so close to be just great.

    Best,

    Danica

    thank you so much for the reassurance. its so confusing and you dont know if you need to up the dosage, decrease it, come off it or stay on it!!!

    The social anxiety has been dreadful and i have lost all my confidence x
