New to Fluoxetine

Day 3 on Fluoxetine, I've been feeling very tired, with an extremely sore neck and headache.
All I can do is lay in bed. I usually go to sleep around 10:30pm and wake up at 6:30am, feeling like I haven't slept for days.
Am I thinking to much or are these side effects? I am very anxious to carry on taking these, as I'm scared they'll get worse. Feeling mentally exhausted is one thing, but adding physical exhaustion will be on a next level.
I have currently been signed off now for two months, but only just plucked up the courage to start taking them.
Does anyone now how long the side effects last for?

So I decided to carry on taking fluoxetine, the side effects are slowly wearing down, however I still get awful headaches, but have had a few hours where I've felt more optimistic!
This morning however, I've been nothing but violently sick, accompanied by the shakes and feeling cold to the bone. My work are being very uncooperative and not understanding about me being off sick, so maybe it's just because the anxiety and worry are at an all time high? We will see!

When are you taking your medication? I tried taking it in the morning but I wasn't able to function for work so I take it at the same time every night before bed it's helped me sleep!
I just recently had my medication increased to 40mg and am currently experiencing some side effects but I know they will eventually subside it takes time
