Ive been on 10mg fluoxetine for 21 days and ive had a headache in my right temple for the last 3 days and im worried its not gonna go away. ive tried paracetamol but its not shifting it and ive read you cant take ibuprofen when on fluoxetine. Has anyone else experienced headaches lasting days or should i go back to my docs?

    I had headaches for a few days when I started. I will also have a headache for a few days when my dose increases. I take ibuprofen with it and have no problems
