What are your experiences with it? I'm 17, so my mum has to make sure I take it every morning (>_>) and I have to start off with 10mg in liquid form for the first week, to make sure I tolerate it, then after that week I'm moving onto 20mg capsules.

I saw my psychiatrist this morning, and got the prescription. She's ringing me next Wednesday (when I move onto the capsules) and then I'm meeting her the week after. So the support from the mental health place is surprisingly good. Just got prescribed Fluoxetine for Anxiety

What are your experiences with Fluoxetine? Any bad side effects etc?

I had pretty good luck with Fluoxetine. No really bad side effects. Unfortunately, it didn't work very well on my depression so they had to change me to a different med.
