I have been taking Fluoxetine for a bit over a month. I seem to be doing well on it and it has been effective in lifting my mood. The main issue for me is that I am not sleeping as deeply and feeling more tired (maybe as a result of nit sleeping as well as normal).
One thing I have noticed is that initially it not only made me feel less depressed but I think also made me feel really calm and chilled out - almost incapable of feeling angry or anxious! However that effect seems to be wearing off... Has anyone else noticed that?
The other thing is that I don’t seem to be able to drink alcohol while on it. I have never been a big drinker but I used to really look forward to having a glass of wine, particularly on weekend evenings. But now even half a glass of wine is enough to make me feel really sleepy and hungover, so it’s just not remotely enjoyable. Is this is a common side effect?
