Hi, Ive been taking fluoxetine 10mg for 4 weeks as of tomorrow and most of the side effects have gone away except for a few: diarrhea and gurgling stomach, sometimes I experience nausea too. I have a history of IBS and having to go to the bathroom in public gives me anxiety, so this side effect has rendered me quite agoraphobic. I have never in my life had an accident until I started this medication. Over the past 4 weeks Ive had some days or half-days where my stomach was quiet and the urgency to go was gone. I know that it can take 6-8 weeks for the medication to be in full effect, however is it normal to have such GI issues 4 weeks into taking the medication?
Kind regards,
Catherine
