panic disorde
"For those of you worrying about taking fluoxetine I hope this will help. I've been having crippling panic attacks for the last 3 months and I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder by my GP, then a consultant psychiatrist. I've tried CBT during this time which helped explain about what my body was doing, releasing large amounts of adrenaline, fight or flight responses etc but it didn't really help. I also managed to convince myself that fluoxetine which I was prescribed early on could make things worse. Following some suicidal thoughts I decided what the hell, it can't be any worse and I took my first 20mg tablet 10 days ago and it has helped so much already. Only minor side effects so far, headaches and a little dizziness."
