It depends.: Adverse effects can be seen with low doses of fluoxetine. The most common are: insomnia, nausea, weakness, headache, diarrhea, loss of appetite, drowsiness, anxiety, tremor, dry mouth, decreased sex drive, sweating, dizziness, ...The list goes on. Adverse effects are not very predictable and at low doses not as probable. Some may occur later in the course of treatment.
