So today I was diagnosed with SAD and BDD by my psychiatrist. Although I had mentioned that I didnt want to take medicine, he said the best way to treat SAD in my case was the combination of CBT and medication. So he prescribed me Fluoxetine and Lorazepam. He told me to take one Fluoxetine pill every day and use Lorazepam in emergency case (but not more than one pill a day). I am really nervous to take these medicine. Is it OK for me to take it?

I s'pose the doctors word is as good as any :)


are you nervous because he has given you two different pills or because of how you will feel when you take them ?

I have never liked medicine. Im a bit afraid when he told me about the side-effect like sexual dysfunction or suicidal thought. So I am scared to take this medicine.
And can I ask have any of you used this before? And did it make you better?
And Chain, did it work for u?

I took Fluoxetine prozac years back for depression, can't say I noticed any effect whatsoever but I guess it's different for everyone. Did not get any side effect though. Do a google on the drug if you want more info but I think you can often 'think' yourself into side effects if you don't trust medicines

I know you just want a little reassurance , but everyone has a different response to meds .

As you are so nervous I don't know that reading more stuff about it will help , it will only give you more side effects to worry about etc . You don't want to bring these things upon yourself just by thinking your going to get them.

however if you just need all the info then as remus said , google it.

just remember that every possible zillionth of a chance of a side effect has to be stated and some are extreme and very rare.

If your still worried maybe you should go back to your doc and have a chat.
