I was increased on my fluoxetine by 5mg on the 27th of July to 25mg. I lasted 13 days on that dose. I was completely bedridden from the side effects and anxiety it caused. I lowered to 22.5mg on the 11th. I felt better on that dose for a couple days and now I’m starting to feel the side effects again. Increased anxiety, nausea, no appetite, etc. Would it be safe at this point just to go back to the 20mg I was on? I can’t see a med providor until the 18th of September! 

Also, it it possible for someone’s body, over time, to require less of an antidepressant? I have been on fluoxetine for almost 10 years and it feels as if my body is rejecting it now. 

Any insight appreciated. Thank you.
