    If you're having mood swings, you may consider asking about birth control. I take BC and Flouxetine together and it really helped curve my mood swings. the BC regulates your hormones so you don't have crazy ups and downs.

    Hello

    I've been on flouxetine for 5 months now, it's fairly normal. I felt really nervous and anxious and wouldn't stop crying. Sometimes it takes a couple of attempts to get the dosage right, if it keeps being a problem I would suggest going back to your doctor and ask if you can increase it to see if it helps.

    I had to up my dosage twice.

    Hope this helps.
