Fluoxetine Help

I have been on Fluoxetine for 9 years and took 20mg but then I started taking every other day thinking I was gonna come off it, but started feeling bad again so I’m on my 4th week of taking it every day again. The side effects are really bad again, thought my body will be used to it. Can anyone help

What side effects are you experiencing? Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

The NIH lists the typical ones as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and weight loss, along with others.

If you were taking it every other day, then started taking it every day, again, that is essentially a dosage change, so it is normal for you to experience side effects, again, for about 4 to 6 weeks.
