Hey there,

I have used fluoxetine 20mg earlier last year for 4 months but quit. Felt bad 3 months later and started 20 mg again. My body reacted completely different with bad anxiety and severe insomnia. I quit after 17 days of use because I basically could not sleep. This is now 2 weeks ago, I'm still having sleep issues, with mostly 4 to 5 hours of sleep and trouble sleeping in. I occassionally need a sleeping pill.

My doc told it could last up to 3 weeks before it goes completely out of my system, but can this be? That would mean it would last longer than I used it! Can fluoxetine take this long to leave the body even after 2.5 weeks of use? I'm desperate for a good sleep
