Fluoxetine

I started fluoxetine Sunday and yesterday and today my anxiety is through the roof. I read online it’s normal but wanted to hear others experiences with it.I started fluoxetine Sunday and yesterday and today my anxiety is through the roof.

Fluoxetine and shaky hands / tremors

I've been on fluoxetine for nearly 3 months for general anxiety. It's worked well. I'm calm but still enjoying life (unlike when I tried sertraline a few years ago and felt totally flat).I've been on fluoxetine for nearly 3 months for general anxiety. It's worked well.

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?

From 5 HTP to Fluoxetine?

Hi, I've just been prescribed Fluoxetine (presumably the lowest dose my doc said). I'm currently taking 5 HTP 400mg. The doc said it was okay to stop the 5 HTP today and start the Fluoxetine, can I just check this is what would typically happen?Hi, I've just been prescribed Fluoxetine (presumably the lowest dose my doc said).

Fluoxetine to mirtazipine?

Does anyone have experience tapering from fluoxetine (Prozac) to mirtazipine?

Depersonalization with Depression

I started Fluoxetine 40mg, another SSRI again. I’ve been on it for 6 months now. I’m doing better. But I still suffer a depersonalization-like dissociative symptom. It’s really uncomfortable. I’m desperate.I started Fluoxetine 40mg, another SSRI again. I’ve been on it for 6 months now. I’m doing better. But I still suffer a depersonalization-like dissociative symptom.

Mycophenolate advice

I also take Fluoxetine in the morning. Fluoxetine made me quite nauseous and mycophenolate has also cause stomach upsets. So I am trying to work out when to take my second mycophenolate tablet - if I take 2 together, will that have a detrimental impact?I also take Fluoxetine in the morning.

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.

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.

Ending Treatment

So I’ve been taking fluoxetine 20mg daily since September 2019. I’m currently in a place where I feel much better so I no longer want to continue taking the medication all together. What would be the problem if I just stopped?So I’ve been taking fluoxetine 20mg daily since September 2019.
