I've taken fluoxetine on several occasions over the past seven years. It's always worked for me. Some people do report side effects but tbh I never found that to be a problem while I was on them. The most I found was that they supressed my appetite and made me nauseous for the first couple of weeks but that subsided over time.
When the time came to come off them I've never experienced any ill effects from that either. Just a couple of weeks on reduced dosage, a couple of weeks taking one on alternate days and then off.

it's horrible when that happens, and exhausting. Try to rest, if possible, for a little while after an attack - the adrenaline rush takes a lot out of you. My care worker has told me that a panic attack never last longer than 25 minutes (often shorter) because that is literally the longest period of time your body can sustain it. When you feel it coming on, make sure you're sitting down, and try to even out your breathing. I hope the meds start helping you soon

. When ur a recluse summers the absolute worst time I find along with Christmas. I feel like I have to be somewhere to make the most of it which is easier said than done when u've no circle to socialise in. I have a walk round town sometimes but its not the same. Every1 seems to be doing something sociable all the time, they always seem to have plans with friends.
