Hi,
Yes, I'm currently taking fluoxetine and have been for nearly 5 months. I was originally started on 20mg then my dose was increased to 40.
Different anti-depressants affect people differently. I personally experienced headaches, insomnia and dizziness during the first 2 weeks of being on the drugs. The lasting side effects have been problems sleeping, vivid dreams when I do sleep well, and restlessness. I'd rather put up with these than my depression the way it is when unmedicated though.
If you're about to start on the drug then I hope it works for you. If not you can always go back to your GP, there are lots of anti-depressants out there and some people have to experiment before finding one that works for them.Health Question & Answer
