I’ve been on Fluoxetine 20mg for almost 5 years but over the past few years I haven’t been taking it proplerly (silly I know, but no matter what I do I seem to forget to take it)
I have really bad anxiety and depression and gave been feeling worse lately. I hit my head at work about 4/5 weeks ago and I worried it would cause brain damage so thought to myself I must start taking my medication properly as I’m going to really worry about this…
I had missed about a week of Fluoxetine at this point so started taking it regularly and about a week later started getting head pressure, spaced out, feeling strange, really anxious…
could this be the Fluoxetine getting back into my system or gave I given myself brain damage from hitting my head?
The Dr thinks its anxiety and depression and so gas suggested i increase my Fluoxetine to 30mg daily. I’ve been back on Fluoxetine for about 4 weeks now (after a week off and a year or so of not taking properly) and have been on the increased dose for 4 days.
I feel so awful. I’m scared I’ve given myself brain damage.
Could taking Fluoxetine properly again cause initial side effects?
