Hope.

So I'm on my 3rd week on Fluoxetine 20mg and I am starting too feel soooooo much better it is unreal! I thought I'd never make it through the 1st week the side effects were horrendous but here I am starting to feel more myself. I've still got an upset stomach and appetite is up and down but other than that I'm starting too think more rationally about things and have been laughing and joking again smile Nearly 3 weeks ago I was the lowest I have ever been, I had black circles under my eyes growing more darker each day, I actually wanted to die, I didn't see any hope. But now I have colour in my cheeks again and am glowing, its been a hard year and I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I know things are going too be alright, there will be bad days and that's okay. Its just so nice to feel a little more like myself each day.❤❤❤

I am getting ready to start my 3rd week of zoloft, 2nd week of being on the higher dose and my anxiety is through the roof.. it's nice to hear these kinds of stories to see possibly there is a light at the end of the tunnel.... I'm very happy for you...

    I know it may seem awful for you right now, but please don't give up, just think of the end result - your not going to feel this way forever, you will be happy again. 😊
