I'm not sure if this is common or if its even safe. I can't find anything about it online. My new psychiatrist wanted to adjust my fluoxetine dose but I was apprehensive about trying 40mg again because the last time I tried I had bad panic attacks over serotonin syndrome even though now I know how unlikely it was. I didn't want to feel like that again though. She told me to finish the 20mg pills I had left and then started me on a regimen of THREE 10mg capsules per day to equal up to a 30mg dose. I'm supposed to start this new dose today, but I'm really sketched out by it. The idea of taking so many fluoxetine pills at once, even if it's technically fluoea safe amount of actual medication, just sets off my health anxiety SO badly. I can't find anything about anyone else being told to take it this way. I know she's the professional, but I'm still freaked out. I would have rather just tried the 40s again at this point. Part of me wants to just start taking one 10mg capsule a day and try to ween myself off because I've been on this med for almost 4 years and I am so sick of it, but I know that's not something I should do without consulting someone first, so I won't. Anyone else think this is a weird way to take this medication?
