hello guys Ime new to this been on fluoxetine since my dad and mom died within 5 days of each other in January this year dnt want to take tabs but I need it what are the side effects as I've gone from bubbly high sexed drive to a cant be bothered attitude pls help
Hi Kevin, As with all medications there are side effects and these affect everyone differently. Some anti depressants can affect sex drive and this could be the case with you. Go back to your GP and explain disscuss the side effects and how it is affecting you, they may be other medications you can try. Hope this helps.

Hi kevin
So sorry to hear about you parents. It seems these can be side effects of fluoxetine but dont know if they should be permanent. Its been a long time so I would definitely go back and speak to your dr, maybe a different ad would suit you better in the long run.
Good luck

Dearest Kevin, I am so very sorry for the sad loss of both your parents, you will still be in mourning for them, that is completely. Natural....
Antidepressants will sedate you slightly and most people are a little affected.. but you of course have to weigh up the pro's and con's... they help with the grief process, you will not be on them long term.....
You WILL get your bubbly personality back. Try not to worry,your friends and family will undoubtedly understand and support you.... please take care of yourself, kindest regards to you, Deirdre xx
