A member asked:
Will fluoxetine help with health anxiety? and if so, how long will it usually take to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be beneficial: It may take 4 to 6 weeks to get full effect of fluoxetine once it is at a therapeutic dose. Psychotherapy (especially CBT) is very important to health anxiety.
