A member asked:
After i have started fluoxetine, i've been having these periodic thoughts that i am a god of some sort. could this be caused by the medication?

Possibly: One of the potential side effects of Fluoxetine, as with other antidepressants, is to exacerbate delusional thinking in susceptible patients. However, other factors may come into play, such as interactions with other medications, other medical conditions being treated, recreational drug use, and even family psychiatric history. Recommend discussing with doctor ASAP for further evaluation. Best.
