The best way to: Tell would be to go off one drug have the itching stop completely and the start the new drug and see if the side effect returned, However, with medications such as the antidepressants that take so long to work that is not always practical. If the itching continues to improve then it is likely that you are not allergic to fluoxetine, If it stays they same or worsens after a week then you may be,
