    Hi Julie, do you feel any different from before you started taking the fluoxetine? ie better or worse? It may be a good idea to go back to your doctor to discuss your medication, either changing it or increasing it. Hope you feel better soon

    Hang in there, I have read that there are ups and downs, I have usually 2 good, then 3 bad, then 3 good then 2 bad. I know it varies for everyone.

    Perhaps a anti anxiety med might work for you? I take Klonopin at night before I go to bed.  It helps although it makes me dopey tired the next AM.  I have found that by taking a .5 mg pill my morning wretching is less.
