I have been on fluoxetine for over a year now and have had sent small hiccups but now I am starting to feel strange and not right again? Do I need my dose higher to prevent these hiccups?
I'm unsure but iv heard it stops working after a while. Should u be better now or is it for a long term illness. Iv been on it 5 weeks and feel really spaced out, did you can this ? Thank you. Hope u feel better soon. Speak with ur dr about a increase xxx
This medicine doesn't stop working. What you're experiencing is a normal process with this type of medication. As you recover you'll get ups and downs along the way, with the downs becoming less as time goes by. You can get a really bad one sometimes years away ....... it just happens. Accept them as part of recovery, move forward and they'll disappear in time.
Upping your dose is to the answer - that'll just give you those initial side effects again.

Sorry, typo.
That was meant to say upping your dose ISN'T the answer.
Hey Holly
Why not jsut go back to basics? Do the things thaty helped you get through the feelings you had when you started Fluox - the reasons why and the side efffects. Acceptance of where you are and giving yourself time to recover - as you will! Lots of TLC is a great help, too, if you can give that to yourself - or receive it from others, of course.
All things pass and you will come good again.
