Fluoxetine
anxiety and stress
"I have started my journey on this medicine when I was 17, I am now 27 so it’s been officially 10 years. I started on it at a 10mg dosage and have made my way up to 20mg over the years however this medicine has really worked for me. I have had severe anxiety which began after I was a victim of abuse and soon after I started having horrible issues with my stomach which was generalized as IBS. Things got so bad that I ended up needing to take a break from college, would have to call out from work because I would get severely anxious and sick with my stomach. Since starting this medication it didn’t fix the IBS but it did help with the anxiety which makes the stomach problems much worse. It’s not a miracle drug but it has worked for me!"
