25 year old female taking 20mg fluoxetine for depression/anxiety. worried about seizures but have no history of them. will this increase my chances?

Not Likely: An increased risk of seizures would be a very rare possibility with Fluoxetine - so rare that it would not be a concern. Hope it's helpful for you!
