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.

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.

Tamoxifen with fluoxetine

Has anyone been prescribed tamoxifen while on fluoxetine? I had to change from letrozole to tamoxifen recently because of side effects causing me bladder problems but have recently read fluoxetine inhibits the effectiveness of the tamoxifen. Should I be worrying about this.Has anyone been prescribed tamoxifen while on fluoxetine?

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.
