hi starr. i am also taking fluoxetine. my primary care doc started me on 10 mg which did absolutely nothing. when i saw psych it was raised to 20mg, then 30 and now 40 mg. i have been on the 40 for just over a week now and on the medication overall for a total of 9 weeks. i am just now starting to feel somewhat better. not wonderful, but better. are you receiving psychotherapy also? in my case, i am not sure the medication alone would be enough.
