A member asked:
I get nervous in big crowds and some anxiety when talking to people. my dr put me on 10 mg fluoxetine to help with this. is it ok to take this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Fluoxetine would be a good first step. Read about social anxiety disorder and about agoraphobia. There are therapies available as well as other meds if this does not do the trick.
