For the past few nights I feel like I've forgotten how to go to sleep! I can't seem to slow my brain down to a speed where I can drop off. I have to keep getting up or reading or wander around the house.
I've been on Fluoxetine for a week now, initially 10mg, but have upped it to 20mg today.
Not suffered too badly, had some bad headaches initially, been quite lethargic, and noticed a rise in anxiety, but otherwise ok.
Anyone else had this?

I was on 20mg for 4 weeks and had nothing but insomnia, just couldn't sleep. Also my anxiety was really bad the whole time and I felt really tired. I came off them because after 4 weeks my anixety was getting worse rather than better like it should have been and I was still not sleeping even though I felt like I needed it. Apparantly Fluoxetine isn't good for general anxiety but more aimed at anxiety associated with OCD and depression.
Hi cat80 and HBTF. Im on 40mg and my DR Says its strange that it seems to help calm me, I have put on weight but I get a lot of sleep. I still feel unmotivated though. oh and it gives me heart burn if I dry swallow it lol
