Feeling "feeling nervous or excited" is a listed initial side-effect, plus it could be partially from the fluoxetine being boosted too. It is one of the more activating SSRIs. It will likely settle down after a while, however, there are no guarantees. Raise it with your doctor if it continues. Maybe dropping the dose a little will help without compromising effectiveness.
