Fluoxetine slowed resting heart rate

I have been taking fluoxetine since Friday and had a couple side effects from it. Low mood and anxiety has increased a bit but I know what is to be expected.

It has made me feel quite a bit sluggish and my resting heart rate has jumped down to 50 (sometimes 45 in bed). I know obviously best advice is to chat with my GP regarding this but just wondering if anyone has experienced this before.

I was on Fluoxetine for some time and I had no adverse effects at all.

My Doc changed it to Sertraline as the Fluoxetine increased the blood levels of my Flecainide.
