Fluoxetine spaced out

I've been on Fluoxetine for 17 weeks now , and still feel spacey throughout the day , my anxiety has got better but I can't stand to feel spaced out all the time.
Did anyone take this and it took 20+ weeks to feel any better?
Also my doc said I could move up to 40mg but it could make the spaced out feeling worse ... don't know what todo

Maybe only take it every other day ??

I spoke to my GP and dropped to 10mg - I start taking it tomorrow

She has given me a liquid and suggested I try 10mg and if it doesn't help or isn't enough I can increase the dose back to 20mg

Do you feel spaced out ? How long have you been on 20 for ?

I've been on it for 4 weeks, it made me spaced initially but it is disturbing my sleep patterns

Yes I know this feeling. Maybe the lower dose will be better, hope so Flowers
