"I have severe Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). I am 38 nearly. I have been taking Flouxetine for about 3 months. Just gone from 20mg to 30mg. I am calmer, see things better but going through the see saw affect, so one day looks better then the day after. I have used a mirror for the first time in 15 years (I don't look at myself head on, just slightly 1cm close I'm one side of my face) - my flaws are somewhat non existent at times and even normal. The meds have made a huge impact that I didn't expect but I've years of work ahead of me to get 23 years of negativity somewhat normalised. If you suffer from BDD I understand your views, frustration and confusion that comes with it. Try meds and counselling to even get 30% better.....Try ignore the negative head and don't dwell to much. Long road ahead but fluoxetine does help and us worth taking."

Prozac (fluoxetine) "I have had social anxiety, body dysmorphic disorder, anorexia, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder. You name it, I have had it. Since taking Prozac two months ago, my mood has improved, my thoughts are clearer, I am more motivated about life, like it actually means something. I have no more racing negative thoughts, I am positive, confident, and enjoying life again! Mild side effects include dry mouth, drowsiness, wanting to sleep more, and mild sexual dysfunction."
