Upping dose

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've been on 20mg of fluoxitine for 6 weeks now, not seen much change but the awful side effects have subsided. My dr wants me to up my dose to 30mg. Im so scared that doing this will bring back those awful side effects that have only just vanished. Has anyone else done this? thanks

    Hey Mari....watching with interest as i am considering the same. I'm almost at 4wks and the side effects have been brutal. I also feel fluoxetine is very activating rather than calming. I was prescribed it due to severe anxiety/panic attacks but have also ended up with some depression. Anyone else notice this?
