Has anyone had neck pain and headaches for months after having their Fluoxetine upped from 20mg to 40mg this was done in February and I was seeing my doctor but the last time was the week we went into lockdown ,my doctor said as my dose had only been upped for 6 weeks it was just side effects which would go , up to now they still haven't and getting to speak to a doctor never mind your own due to Covid is hopeless,Has anyone else had this if so what did you do about it ,I am so fed up of having this neck pain and headache , I thought I would ask if anyone who has been on Fluoxetine have felt like this as everyone has had some experience

Hi Maza1,

I am sorry to hear you are still feeling badly physically. It seems time to book a meds review with your doctor after 5 months. Feeling pain doesn't help cope in these troubled times. During Covid-19 I keep in touch with my doctor using telehealth. The doctor calls in to my phone or you can see each other on a teleconference. You book in the same way as any other appointment.

I have to say I was sceptical at first but now I am fine with this. Of course, I will revert to meeting in person when this is over.
