Hi there,
So previously I have taken SSRIs to help with my anxiety, and one of them sent me to the E.R. With intense heart palpitations. After that I’ve been scared to medicate. I did take fluoxetine for a day but my heart rate jumped up and I had an epic meltdown the entire day and never took it again. This time (it’s been about a month) I got prescribed an SNRI called ‘Duloxetine 30mg’ and I am too anxious to take it. I just sit and stare at the box. I want to take it but I’m too anxious and I got told I need to try and relax when I take it. Does anyone have any tips?
