Relatively small things that I consider a setback upset me tremendously

Missed a dose of fluoxetine (40mg) the other day for the first time. Have taken it every day since the end of May when it was prescribed but I had a headache and took paracetamol on the evening which is when I have my medication and I must have subconsciously thought I'd taken my tablets for that day.

Didn't notice anything at all. So I feel less nervous about coming off them now. I'm not coming off them soon, just saying when I do I'm not as worried.

That's good. People like to share the horror stories, less so the successful ones. SSRI's aren't meant to be permanently prescribed, you'll know when you're ready to wean off them.

i occasionally forget to take my bupropion but i've only had one negative experience because of it. it was almost a year ago now but i had only been taking it for maybe a month or two and then went 2 days without while in university and ended up having a panic attack in the middle of class that led to me sprinting to the closest doctor after convincing myself i was having a heart attack.

it's funny to think back on but at the time it was absolutely terrifying

Cheers, think it'll be a few months yet. Though I have been making improvements and I'm glad I started again after Sertraline put me off medication.

fluoxetine

I’m fairly sure it’s just placebo. I quit taking it.

My bad. I think it might be placebo and is for some people.

Doctor's know a lot of medical sh*t, but they sometimes get things wrong. I always ask about contraindications with other meds and what bad side effects or first dose responses that might occur.
