Fluoxetine giving me really vivid disturbing dreams

[Givemethestrength]

I started taking fluoxetine in September and increased my dosage about 2 weeks ago, since then I've had such disturbing dreams most nights. The dreams are no way related to my actual life but they're very distressing. Is this just a side effect of increasing my dose or should I ask my GP to change my medication?

I can't give advice op as I've only just started on then 2 weeks ago but 1 side effect is insomnia. If the dreams are causing distress I would speak to gp

Do you take it it the evening ? Maybe better to take it in the morning

I'm on 60mg and I have anything from very disturbing dreams to utterly ridiculous dreams but always have to think for a minute on waking up.
