Hey guys.
I've recently switched from lexapro 30 mg to fluoxetine, since i was too anxious on it and i've already reached a pretty high dosage (the maximum dosage, at least for clinical usage, is said to be around 20 mg). I've taken 40 mg of fluoxetine in the first 2 days, and felt really great: my anxiety was pretty much gone, and i had more motivation. The only problem is that i've felt pretty stimulated, which led to insomnia and poor concentration. I also take vyvanse 70 mg for adhd, and the combination of both made me too agitated.
Today I've tried taking 20 mg of fluoxetine. I went to the gym and it was horrible: My anxiety increased, i was dizzy and felt chills through my body. I was also having pretty bad self steem thoughts.
I was wondering if that can be a case of serotonin discontinuation syndrome, since i was taking lexapro for almost 3 years and the dosage was pretty high. I've also talked about my doc about going to 30 mg of fluoxetine. What do you guys think?
