scared to start fluoxetine; wishing im normal
this is a slight rant/slight advice needed.
Recently given Fluoxetine for pmdd and the doctor had told me to take it continuously as opposed to the cyclical dosing as “by the time it leaves the body, you have to take it again” which i think is fair enough.
But based on the side effects (increased anxiety which is already a symptom for me during luteal phase, mania, brain zaps) im a bit scared of taking it especially with important life changes coming up. is it worth it? is it worth going through few weeks of hell? Like i don’t even know how to cope with the side effects especially with work and uni at the same time
I just hate that my brain is like this. I wish i could be normal.
