Re: need help with fluoxetine
I've been on fluoxetine (20mg) three times in my life. The first two times, between 2003-2008 and between 2008-2011, I had no side effects at any point on it. I went back onto it four weeks ago and have had bad side effects - generally feeling tense, agitated and restless, though I was feeling like that before I went on it to a certain extent. Some people seem to get bad side effects on it, whereas others hardly seem to have any - hope that you're in the latter group!
Stick it out for 6 weeks though even if the side effects are bad - many people give up in the first week or two even though in most cases, the side effects go away. If things are really bad the doctor can give you diazepam or beta blockers to take the edge off the side effects if they're related to an increase in anxiety/agitation.
