Who Takes Fluoxetine And Does It Help With Anxiety Depression And Fibromyalgia ?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cortland, NY

I will be starting fluoxetine soon for anxiety and major depression because cymbalta does nothing for me . I’ve never been on this new med I’m scared of side effects and don’t want libido cymbalta does not give me libido . Guess I find out soon as meds affect everyone differently.

Chantelmarshall yeah I’m alright just hurt bad all over as you know . Been in bed for 9 months I only get out every few days to walk when I can for exercise stupid doctors appointments Counciling and been going to aa meeting on Mondays . I so want to drive truck again but can’t rate now . I think I got severe fibromyalgia from being so hard on myself in the building trades and the gym . It did go into remission for 2 years with just some small symptoms but it came back worse and spread all throughout me . Have a blessed 😇 day

Yes Trevor I've tried fluoxetine before but didn't do much for me. I'm on paroxetine at the mo and to be honest that's not much good either. Amitryptaline is the best out there in my opinion as it helps to ease pain a bit which helps you sleep a lot better. Won't do a lot for depression tho albeit if it's the pain that's causing your depression then yes it will help.

Hiya Trevor hope your alright, I took an aray of different meds over the years, but now I refuse to accept the rubbish they try to give me. I only take 10mg of amitriptyline for both migraine and fibromyalgia at night. Im sure half of the crap meds made me worse!
