Yes, but: It is OK to feel good, and love your life. However, if you are concerned you are having a Mania episode, triggered by the fluoxetine, you need to talk to your provider immediately. Have the provider assess you for mania or hypomania; if you do not have these, then you are doing very well! Be safe, and talk to your provider.
