My 17 year old is on fluoxetine for 5 weeks, now becoming paranoid and even more depressed! Is this a side effect or something more ominous?

Fluoxetine help

Hi I’ve been on this medication now for about 4/5 weeks and I had the usual side effects in the first 2 weeks and my 3 week check up was fine. But after week 3 I’ve started to get severe headaches and had to take cocodamol for the pain. This has dulled now into week 4 but now I have this pressure inHi I’ve been on this medication now for about 4/5 weeks and I had the usual side effects in the first 2 weeks and my 3 week check up was fine.

Hi I started on Fluoxetine in July and felt worse before I got better. I am now back to normal so I just want to encourage others that you will feel better just give it time.Hi I started on Fluoxetine in July and felt worse before I got better.

Has anyone experienced heavier and longer lasting periods on fluoxetine?

I've been on Fluoxetine for 2-3 weeks now and I started a period 2 weeks ago. Before the meds they were only 3-5 days long. I'm starting to worry because I'm still on and it's still going heavy/strong with no signs of stopping any time soon.I've been on Fluoxetine for 2-3 weeks now and I started a period 2 weeks ago.

Best time to take fluoxetine

I wonder wether it would be best to take the fluoxetine at night now that I am sleeping better, or would it have an effect on me, it would mean going a whole day until the evening without any. Any advise would be appreciated.I wonder wether it would be best to take the fluoxetine at night now that I am sleeping better, or would it have an effect on me, it would mean going a whole day until the evening without any.

T3 and fluoxetine and trazodone can I take these together?

I take 5x25mg T3 and feel so much better but can I take Trazodone or fluoxetine with this T3 as I still struggle with the blues big time. I take 1 vitamin D3 also as blood tests showed that I was low in this. Would be grateful of your thoughts on this thanksI take 5x25mg T3 and feel so much better but can I take Trazodone or fluoxetine with this T3 as I still struggle with the blues big time.

Fluoxetine-Weight Gain

Has anyone been on Fluoxetine before and experienced weight gain? I’ve been on it 3 years now (currently on 40mg daily) and I’ve gained a good 30 pounds.

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 have been taking fluoxetine since Friday and had a couple side effects from it.
