I am currently on 40mg, which has brought me from major depression to having two good weeks in a row, followed by a bad week (which isn't half as bad as it would have been without the pills).

I'm thinking of asking the Doctor if I can go up to 60mg to get rid of the bad days, but I heard that fluoxetine can make you feel a bit zombified.

I had the zombified feeling for a couple of days while the medication was settling in, which is okay, but I wouldn't like it all the time. My GP said that only people who have have the highs as well have this side effects and since I only get the lows, it won't affect me.

Well, the two good weeks that I have just had, could I potentially not experience them again after a dose increase?

Thank you very much in advance.
