    Will Fluoxetine make me manic?

    Hi. Just looking for some reassuarance / advice. I have been taking Fluoxetine for nearly 3 weeks now to help with anxiety / depression. I am driving myself mad with worry however that the Fluoxetine will make me manic or will induce bipolar type illness! As you can probably tell I have health anxiety!

    If I was to go 'manic' how long would it take?

    Any advice?

    Thanks for the reply. I just worry about the possibility! My thoughts seem to be racing a lot, but that could be due to the anxiety! I have also became more forgetful since taking Fluoxetine! I cannot wait for this torture to end!

    we people with anxiety put alot of pressure on our selves, which in turn adds to the problem I think.I try to take each day as it comes, what happened yesterday isn't important, or what happens tommorow, its the now thats important.Take care and hope you are okay.
