I Was 4 months on fluoxetine because of Anxiety and panic attacks but was horrible the side-effects two weeks ago I stopped and the doctor prescribed me Lorazepam I take it sometimes But The first things in the morning when I wake up it’s a horrible feeling stomach upset panic attack and high blood pressure is not nice feeling every day😕
Gyuszi Balint I’m sorry things didn’t go well on the fluoxetine. It’s a real gamble with antidepressants as you never know how your body will react until you try it. Have you found the lorazepam helpful? I hate waking with that feeling of dread and chronic anxiety when you’re not even sure of the reason. I usually try to self soothe myself in my head or distract myself to break the cycle. I really hope things improve for you 😊
Gyuszi Balint You’re doctor is right, it is addictive but I’m hopeful that providing you don’t have a history of substance abuse and you use it with caution (only when necessary) you should be ok. Best of luck
