A member asked:

I have strong side effects (bad eye sight, sleepiness) while taking 10 mg of fluoxetine (3rd week now). i take it against depression and panic attacks. is it possible to reduce to 10 mg every second day in the evening?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

When given medicine by a doc he/she should be the sole person to talk to about side effects and dosing. So call them. Good luck

Your medication needs to be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Dr. please see another for a second opinion. Medication alone may not be enough to help. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help overcome depression. It may be time for a complete physical exam to know if any of your symptoms are due to a physical illness.
