Fluoxetine

Hi, I have been taking 20mg fluoxetine for 3 weeks or more but symptoms are still not better . I’m going to ask doctor if I can go up to 40mg. Can anyone tell me if they are taking that dose with Nash and it’s ok . Thank you . Panic Pat.

Fluoxetine Side affects

Hi I’ve previously taken fluoxetine and had very little mild side affects but this time on 20mg like before I’ve had diarrhoea not really bad but not great. I’m about 4 or 5 weeks in taking it. Will this get better and calm down?

Fluoxetine for menopause?

Has anyone been prescribed fluoxetine for menopause? Just been given them for night sweats and feeling low now and again. Been taking them for a week now and woke up feeling sick and have had a headache most of today and feel extremely tired.

Could Hashimoto's be drug Induced?

Fluoxetine at the moment, but she has been on others previously. She also takes olanzapine. Both medications are known to affect the thyroid. Is there a way to find out if these medications have caused the Hashimoto's?

Gabapentin for anxiety - mood dysregulation?? Looking for others experiences..

She has previously failed and actually did very poorly on fluoxetine, esitalapram .. Both stimulant molecules and Strattera at lowest dose caused irritability. Guanfacine seemed to work pretty well but we still saw room for improvement. High doses just caused a flat affect.

Any OCD medications out there that don’t cause weight gain and also don’t cause sexual side effects?

I’m on fluoxetine and it has lowered my libido and ability to orgasm. I think it has also increased my anxiety.

An update on fluoxetine withdrawal and RLS

Last month I posted a question about SSRIs (specifically fluoxetine) and RLS. I’ve been trying again to withdraw from fluoxetine, this time paying more attention to the half life of the drug and tapering more gradually. I’m encouraged to report that my RLS seems to be reducing.

Numb Feet

I am now on 600mg of Pregabalin and I don’t think it’s helping much at all and just a quick note thanks to reading some of the posts here I also stopped the Fluoxetine and it had a dramatic impact. My RLS improved immediately ! Does anyone else suffer from progressively numb feet ?

Only one Afib episode???

I was also taking fluoxetine for anxiety at the time (for which one of the listed side effects is irregular heartbeat). I have not since had another afib episode, and the obvious question is will I have another one?
