    hi Rosemary, how are you feeling now? any improvement? i think after 9 weeks you should have seem some improvement.

    I lasted 3 1/2 weeks and my gp told me to stop as the fluoxetine made me worse. i know it takes weeks for any improvement but it made me feel so unwell my whole life stopped. i was unable to move from the sofa, lost a stone in weight within 2 weeks, couldn't work, sleep and struggled to care for my son. Mu anxiety was off the scale and severely debilitating. I've almost finished reducing (from 20mg to 10mg) so should stop completely within the next day or so.

    please see your doctor and discuss how you are feeling
