Can fluoxetine cause u to be sick for a while before u get used to the medicine i have been on it for 19 days i think. how much longer will this last?

Are you referring to: an upset stomach. If you have loose stools - those usually resolve in about 14 days. If you have nausea or abdominal discomfort - take it with food. If that is not successful - recommend addition of probiotic. Let you prescribing physician know about all side effects.
