July 26 I will be on fluoxetine for 3 months now. I've a week ago I upped my dose to 15mg. I felt fine til this morning I woke up with what I'm guessing anxiety. I feel like I'm going crazy and my thoughts are going crazy. I just feel crazy altogether.! Idk what todo! Does this mean it's not helping? Should I change? I need advice bad ;( been having a touch time on this med considering I've made like ten of these discussions. I've noticed it's helped but it's like things are going good then I have w horrible bad day. And today it started bad. Craziness, weird thoughts, can't even think straight. Idk what to do!

    Happened to me when I went from 20mgs to 40. Felt like they were having zero positive affect and I was mildly nauseas and out of it. Similar to The first few days after you start taking them. Luckily this only lasted about a week for me and I slowly started to return to my happy place. 6 weeks later my dose was upped to 60mgs but I didn't notice any side affects that time. I am in no way qualified to give you advice though so I would still consult your GP but I would think it's probably your neurotransmitters trying to figure out what to do with themselves. Once again please take my comments with a grain of salt, just letting you know that if the doc says it is normal it should be over in a week or 2.

      Yes I understand. On my packet it says to let the doctor know if you notice any mood changes and that would be considered a mood change. I had that too and he had me stop taking it and I felt better. Of course my anxiety was from a different medication and so I stopped taking it. Now the suicidal thoughts are gone. Let me know what you did okay? I hope you feel better

      It started to go away. I split my doses during the day. I still feel foggy but other than that everything's better. Hopefully it just keeps getting better and better each day.
