I started taking fluoxetine yesterday, and now I feel awful. I was wondering if anyone had tips in order to reduce stomach aches, or any tips in general in order to get through the beginning.

I would also like to hide the fact that I'm taking some for personal reasons. Any tips for that aswell?

Thanks in advance!

Try taking it at night, that helped me with a few of the side effects.

I'll ask my doctor if I can, since he recommended me to take it in the morning.

Thank you for answering!
