Good morning. From 4 days I take Fluoxetine at a dose of 20 mg. for neurosis of drugs. For the first 2 days practically everything was ok. Since yesterday I have been observing increased anxiety attacks, lack of concentration, squeezed head, huge sadness and total lack of concentration. Is this a normal effect of the drug in the initial phase of use and how long can these symptoms last?

The first weeks of antidepressant therapy may be associated with malaise, a decrease in mood, an increase in anxiety symptoms, in extreme cases, suicidal thoughts may occur. Usually, improvement is observed after about 1-2 weeks of treatment. However, this time may vary depending on individual predispositions. Usually, when no improvement is observed after 4-6 weeks, the doctor takes steps in the form of changing the dose of the drug or changing the current drug to another.
