fluoxetine hydrochloride (20mg) for depression

fluoxetine hydrochloride (20mg) for depression

I have recently (February) started taking fluoxetine again. I had depression and cried a lot, anxiety and social anxiety. The first few months were difficult but it's slowly getting better for me. I feel calmer in my head and I can enjoy the little things in life again. For me, this medicine really has a positive effect.
