Day 47 on 20mg fluoxetine.
Hello friends!
I (30m) was on fluoxetine 20mgs for around 8 years and I was doing amazing on it. I live a normal life, I cut hair for a living and overall was amazing. Very stupidly, I decided to stop taking it just to see how I’d feel since I had been on it for so long. I felt okay but definitely not as good as I did when I was on it. So after taking about a month and a half off the medication I just got back on it now. The first week was rough, second week was actually very good and since it’s been kind of spotty. Good day- bad day- very good day-4 bad days- ehhh day. I’m on day 47 today and just experienced my first panic attack in years. This is incredible frustration and I would just like your guys feed back, I know it takes up to 8-12 weeks to start feeling like yourself again. Should I continue to push through these next 4 weeks and see how I feel? Or talk to my doctor about possibly changing my dosage or medication in general. The good days give me hope that I can return to my old self, but I feel like at day 47 I should be feeling a bit more stable. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long post lol
