Fluoxetine

[Charlottexo]

Someone help, been on fluoxetine for 4 weeks now....last time i took it was 4 years ago...anyone else taking or took this and had side effects or felt worse on it? i’m constantly dizzy and lightheaded and trying to determine wether it’s this, my blood pressure meds or something else 😫

I stopped for a year and started again and had the same side effects I had the first time, up and down anxiety, tired and unable to sleep, weak and shaky. The first week I found was the worst and then it starts to settle down. You’ll be fine, easier said than done, but try not to over think it.

yeah i came off it for 4 years when i got pregnant with my first child but since having my second i’ve been back on it , i find it weird i’ve still got the side effects of it though which is making me worry

I want to take it too ! Citalopram don’t work on me well I didn’t try the higher dose I was only on 20mg for a year and it hasn’t done much. I was too afraid to go on a higher dose so today I will talk to my doctor about changing my medication

I am on week 3 of 40mg of fluoxetine and its so hard to tolerate. Week 1 was fine. Week 2 was no appetite. Now I am no appetite and nauseous. I went to see the doctor and she said to give it 2 months!!!!!

hope so! i started taking it on the 4th of may so quite a while now just don’t understand why i’m still feeling dizzy and all out of sorts

But take daily at a specific time otherwise it takes days to get back to normality

Been on it for 6 wks. Still struggling with nausea and sleeping till midday and then nighttime insomnia. So tonight tried night dose instead of morning. Still awake at 1.44am. Had genomic testing as had bad reactions to many meds and this supposed to be ok for me. But even this is pushing limits.
