I'm driving myself mad been on fluoxetine since 25th November started on 20mg and got massively worse so the doctor upped my dose to 40mg about two weeks ago, now all my joints shoulder wrists knees ankles are clicking this is a new thing no pain, also when I swallow I feel like the same clicking/grinding sound it's driving me mad! One side of my face/head also feels sore to touch I can't cope with this I'm deciding alsorts must be wrong with me and I'm going to die I think I need to change back to sertraline to see if this gets better, does this medicine affect anybody else like this?

    Maybe someone can help me; I recently started fluoxitine again after several years & my Dr. put me right back to 40mg's to start. I am concerned this was too much, will I be ok. Been back on for 12 days.

    Thank you

      No that is not Ok.. why do doctors do that! Mine started me on 10mg for 5 days then 20mg for approx 6 weeks.. then 30mg for 10 days then up to 40mg. Were you on 40mg last time? How are you feeling at the moment?

      Thank you for responding. Actually today I am finally starting to feel a bit more like myself; although the last 12 days was hell.
