I just don't know how much longer I can go on feeling like this. I feel sick all the time. I'm constantly taking my temp bc I feel like I have a fever. I'm anxious and depressed. It seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I can't motivate myself to even get out of bed. I'm at 4 1/2 weeks and just don't know what to do.

Went to my pdoc yesterday and he told me that it can take up to 7 weeks for fluoxetine to finally settle. I had a horrible 4th week but mid 5th (right know) I've been starting to feel more and more like myself again. I've also noticed that it's easier not to dwell on my fears as much, or at least push them to the back of my mind. He also said that while adjusting and a good way to to just reduce anxiety is to do tasks you don't really have to think about (ex. knitting) and to exercise because he said there is a lot of evidence out now that it's super good for mental health. Going to see him has improved my mood a good bit.
