Well not sure how long it will take for it to work fully, but im having good and bad days, right now what i feel is this constant neck pain which gives me tension headaches, and today my anxiety is off the roof, im sitting here shaky body, cant concentrate, feel figety, not like myself, and this brings on panic, specially the numing feeling in my head that makes me feel like im going to pass out. Not liking it at all. When i get really bad i often wonder if i will ever get better?

    Hi Jesika

    Sorry your still not feeling steady, I know it horrible especially after 11 weeks. What dose are you on? Have you come off anything else?

      If you increased to 40mg less than about 6 weeks age you may still be getting side effects from the increase. I'm no doctor but do have experience with fluox. Or you could try cutting back to 20mg and see how that goes. All the best. It is a good AD.

      So 7 weeks on 40mg...as I say I'm no doctor, but I would be tempted to just try 20mg.
