Hi Dksea, thank you so much for your response. It’s slightly better today so I think I’m going to brave it out and see how I am by the end of the week. I also take pregablin 250mg, Mirtazapine 15mg (reduces from 45mg) & propranolol 120mg which were prescribed last year when I was very ill. My end goal is to be on Fluoxetine 40mg on it’s own - I’ve got a little while to go with tapering off the Pregabalin & Mirtazapine but I’ll get there! Many thanks again for taking the time to reply xx

Hi Belanna, I have intrusive thoughts OCD and for me personally, I feel like it the medication helped a lot. Thankfully this is my last dose increase, unfortunately it feels like the hardest hitting. I’m going to battle through and hope this anxiety eases over the few days xx

Hi there, thank you so much for your reply. I think I’m going to try and stick it out until Friday and if it’s still the same I’ll speak to my doctor about perhaps going back to 30mg. Aarrgghh nothing is ever easy is it lol ? Thanks again for taking the time to reply xx

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with OCD and Depression in December 2018 by a psychiatrist I saw privately. I was very sensitive to any medication prescribed by my GP so following advice from psychiatrist I’ve been very slowly increasing to fluoxetine 40mg. My dosage has been recently increased from 30mg to 40mg which I have now been on for a week. Over the past few days I've been experiencing the most intense bursts of anxiety/panic. I can't remember the feeling of anxiety being this intense on previous dose increases so I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has experienced similar, should I stick it out and wait for it to pass or is it completely not normal and go back to 30mg? Many thanks for your help ?
