hi and welcome. 6-8 weeks is around the time the full effect will take. sometimes a med may not be right for us, so keep talking with ya doc. keep strong. a slow old turtle just passing by.

Thank you I have been on and off for a few years and wanted to see if I can go without them, well I had a relapse so I decided to get back on them, and will be meeting with the psychiatrist soon to have a good talk . I hope something better will work so I can have my energy back . Do you have depression? does it make you feel like you dont want to do anything ? lately it has been really bad and became so isolated plus my mind is not functioning I cant really understand or read right anymore it takes time to understand ...I dont know what is going on and I am not liking it at all , do you experience lost of focus like cant remember what the day is or what I did yesterday, those kind things are scaring me . My sense of humor has left me I used to be a quick wit now its like a kid is smarter than me..so sad!

There are many other medications if the fluoxetine isn't working like it use to. I hope that you find what works for you.

Welcome to the forum!!!

I recommend going to "mindful.org" to help with the concentration. Mindfulness can really help.

Thank you Karen!!! I will check it out and see what it can do for me anything will help at this point if I really try and not give up because it can get so tiring trying so hard and lose hope.

Also since your a moderator is there a way you can check replies without having to sign in every time? it goes to my email and I click on the link and sign in to see the replies, unless this is how it works? I am very new and learning . Thanks

I think you only have to sign in like that for awhile. It helps keep the spam and bots down. I will check into it for you. Then I will let you know what I find out.

I think it is something just for new users.

I guess the reason you have to keep logging in is because you are subscribing to the thread. If you just come directly to the forum you will only have to do that every 50 or 100 posts, not real sure of the number. I just know I have to log in occasionally. I also understand that you can do something with the browser, maybe have it remember your password. I didn't quite understand that part. But I just put the depression forum into my favorites and I get here that way. But I don't subscribe to the threads anymore.

You can get here by typing in the name of the forum, then go to "forums and chat". Then click on the forum you want to enter. Like I said, I put it into my favorites to get here faster and easier. It took me awhile to learn that though. I am not the best on computers. Ha!!!

I hope that this helps, and that I explained it right. If not, I will get someone to help you with it.

Hugs, Karen...
