My heart races when i wake up for about 10 min.then if i go out in public anywhere.was given fluoxetine 10mg. but symptoms come off &on. do i take it?

Yes: Fluoxetine is helpful for anxiety symptoms but can take 8-10 weeks to work. Also the dose may need to be increased if you are still having symptoms after 8 weeks. It will not help if you just take the medication occasionally, it must be taken every day. Good luck to you.
