2nd Prozac Update - Feeling Good

September 23, 2026··
Feeling good. Been having bouts of dizziness, irritability, electric shock sensations, gi upset, muscle aches, emotional blunting, flu-like symptoms, visual disturbances, rage, and sweating. Serotonin syndrome from extreme dose of fluoxetine and mirtazapine along with preworkout and nootropics for university resulted in a bipolar 2 diagnosis. Never had any symptoms again. Down from 80mg to 20mg of fluoxetine as of July 2015. Off all fluoxetine as of February 2025.
