    hi Collette

    usually increase will bring a side effects for some time again., just like at the beginning of the treatment. How long you were taking 20mg for .? And when side effects started after increase ?

    i have increased my dose of Fluoxetine from 20 to 40 , it has been almost 3 weeks, second week i had terrible headache, tiredness, irratability. But i was taking 20mg for 10 month, hoping it will be enough but have decided to increase after constant ups and downs.

    I think you just going through side effects, give more time and it will get better
