I’ve been on Fluoxetine for 5 months and still keep getting chest pains. It mainly feels like it’s at the top of my chest I also get occasional stabbing pains in the top of my arms. Has anyone else experience this

    Hi Claire,

    When I was on  them last I had similar symptoms and also headaches more than normal. That’s one of the reasons I am still stalling on if to go back on them or not. From memory I just seemed to get used to it after a while and I think they actually became less frequent as I got used to the tablets.
