Re: 30 days on Fluoxetine - when will nausea/shaky stomach stop?
Hi
Sorry you are going through a rough time - I was on Prozac for 15 years! and was really good to me. However I remember the side effects very well - especially stomach problems - they did eventually go.
I think you are still suffering from side effects - my side effects started the second week. People tend to think you will get them straight away but even now I am on Citalopram (5 weeks) and no start up problems but the psychiatrist asked me a couple of weeks ago to jump to 40mg - well the second week (just gone) has been awful - anxiety/acidity has had me in tears. So I have dropped to 30mg as of tonight although he said side effects happen in the first week? Never in my case.
Have you any Losec/Omeprazole - it may be called something different in the States.
Would try and give a couple
more weeks or may be that fluoxetine doesn't suit you - have you tried Celexa - the one I am taking as start up effects were more gentle than fluoxetine.
I guess you are on 20mg? The tightness in the forehead may be tension. Try and have some soup and probiotics yoghurts have helped me along with a hot water bottle on my stomach.
Hope you start to feel better
Laura
