Hi guys,

I came off Citalopram 8 weeks ago as it was not effective and I was feeling terrible on it.

I have severe anxiety and have not been functioning and so was started on 10mg Fluoxetine 6 days ago. Anxiety has shot through the roof and I have awful agitation that is unbearable (also had this on the Citalopram). I'm awake at 4.30am in such a state I want to curl up and die. I'm just crawling through each day. It's torture. I have diazepam but I'm worried about dependency.

Do I keep going with the fluoxetine? Any advice?
