Hi Kirstie, I have been on Fluoxetine on and off myself for 12 years now.
2.5ml/10mg is the children's dose, most adults take the 20mg capsules.
So you could try to increase your dose a little.
Fluoxetine or drugs like it are more affective at reliving the mental symptoms of anxiety rather than the physical symptoms.
If you cannot talk to your psychiatrist soon, then ask your doctor for advice.
I don't think increasing your dose from 2.5ml to 3ml would make you feel more tired in 1 day.
I was given 40 mg of this drug which is generic Prozac.Everyones body is different but i tried staying on it as recommended for 2 weeks.I started getting weird. such as talking alot waving my hands when I talked. i felt like I was on speed.and I have bad anxiety, this drug was not for me.Tell your doctor .you need to beable to function. I hope you find something better, see i was speedy on it and you were tired and they do keep leaving. try something else good luck.
