I’ve upped my dose in Fluoxetine from 10mg to 20mg. I was taking 10mg for 2 months then doctor upped my dose to 20mg. I feel like I’m starting from scratch again...Increased Anxiety, nausea, insomnia, pins and needles. Do you think it’s my body getting adjusted to the new mg dose? It’s been 2 long weeks of the new dose...should I give it the full 8-12 weeks again?

Thanks in advance for reply’s.

Upping the dose of these medications after a time is quite normal. Like when you started your medication you had to get used to the original dose. Now after an increase you will need to become used once more. Allow a further three or four weeks, stop worrying
