When going off of fluoxetine, did you gradually lower the dose over a few days, or did you stop abruptly? Sometimes with this drug class, the body can have a hard time adjusting to an abrupt stop. I have felt similar symptoms when going off this type of med, and it took a few days for my body to adjust. I would continue to monitor these symptoms and to call your doctor if the symptoms have not gone away within a few days
