I recently started taking a 10mg dose of fluoxetine once a day and menstruation is 9 days overdue. can fluoxetine alter my cycle? i'm 19 and regular.

Yes, but...: Fluoxetine can alter your cycle, although this is not considered a damaging side effect. At 10 mg., it would surprising, but not impossible for you to have this side effect. The conditions for which fluoxetine is prescribed can also alter the cycle. You should discuss with your doctor these possibilities.
