I started 20mg fluoxetine 6.5 weeks ago, and increased to 40mg 2 weeks ago. I am starting to feel worse the past few days, anxiety is awful, low mood and no energy at all. Is it normal to feel this at this point? as I thought I would be improving, not getting worse. Should I stick it out or come off?

Any advice would be much appreciated.
