Fluoxetine?: Did you Dr tell you to stop because of the symptoms or since you have stopped you been having these symptoms. There is a well described withdrawal syndrome that you could be experiencing. Would see your doctor.

Withdrawl?: Depending on how long you've been taking the fluoxetine & what the dose was, your symptoms could be explained by suddenly stopping this medication. We normally advise people to gradually wean the dose.
