Unfortunately, these side-effects can develop when increasing antidepressant doses. They usually diminish within a week or two, but sometimes can take a little longer with fluoxetine because of its very long half-life. Dropping back to 30mg should reduce their severity, but only time will tell if the dose will be enough.
