Unhappy Anxiety medications? - April 24th 2017, 11:13 PM
Hi all,

recently I've been diagnosed with severe social anxiety as well as the possibility of having depression. I am taking fluoxetine to ease the panic & help as an antidepressant.

however, its not working at all. I mean, the whole "antidepressant" aspect of it definitely is (i'm not as sad anymore, I always have a calm, content feeling when I'm taking it). The panic and anxiety is still there.

IDK why nothing is happening. I still have the same anxiety feelings I did before the medication. I've been taking it for a month now.

Why is nothing happening? Should I ask my doctor to increase my dosage? Or should I try a different medication?

Anyone who has experienced anxiety and has experience taking medication... do you have any advice?
