Hi. Yes fluoxetine can cause headache. But it is nothing to worry about. You can even think of it as a sign that fluoxetine is actually doing something. But don't worry about the side effects, as the benefits outweigh any problems you will face.
Next Steps
Meet a psychiatrist and discuss the headache. Ask for alternatives treatments for your anxiety if you feel that the headache is beyond your ability to tolerate.
