Depression. Any common side effects?.

Hello Mr. Good morning. All drugs in market comes with some sort of side effects ranging from mild to moderate. Also, every human body metabolise, utilise & excrete  Medicines differently. This cause can be attributed to different enzyme that are present variably among general population. It's same for psychiatric Medicines. So some person experience side-effects and some don't. All side-effects are temporary . Most common one is Stomach acidity . For that most Psychiatrist start with antacid but as I told it is temporary ,if you have already a problem of acidity then you take antacid. Safe is not an appropriate term to use for any  Medicines .As it is a chemical that is going into our body ,it has its own dynamic effect and impact over our body that is beyond our control. The perfect term is" PROBABILITY" , yes fluoxetine is cheap and good Medicines that is FDA approved for certain psychiatric disorders that has a significant interaction with great number of drugs which is both advantage and disadvantage depending upon the disorder.

Use of fluoxetine totally depend on ur diagnosis and other factors that I believe ur Psychiatrist wud have evaluated before starting it. You must discuss with ur Psychiatrist before starting ur Medicines get cleared ur all doubts. As conflicted mind will not allow you to take Medicines as prescribed and scheduled ,you urself will start adjusting ur dose without any supervision and then the problem will worsen. If you don't have faith in ur Psychiatrist , it ur right to consult another one.

Pls don't google anything regarding fluoxetine and it's indications, bcos all information provided over internet is vague and generalized , mostly wrong and confusing. Don't start or stop any Psychiatric Medicines on ur own. Talk ur Psychiatrist in detail about ur fear regarding ur condition and Medicines. Take care. ** Have a safe &  peaceful day **
