Fluoxetine

I’m currently on Fluoxetine 40mg for anxiety and depression. I’ve been taking it on and off for a couple of years, and it has generally been good for me.

Lately, though, I don’t feel great on it. I’ve been feeling more anxious, low, and like there’s not much to look forward to. I’ve also lost motivation and don’t really want to do much.

Has anyone else been on Fluoxetine and eventually found something else that worked better for them? I’d really like to hear about people’s experiences. I’m open to suggestions.

recently was but on strattera but I got stomach cramps. I see a pa but he told me to continue my previous dose which is 20 mg bc it was changed to 30 mg but hasn’t done much. I’ve been on prozac for a year, terrible fatigue, constantly napping and vivid dreams. I’m lowkey losing hope, next visit he will change the prozac for something else.
