So i started fluoxetine 7 days ago.
Since then my sleep has dropped to about 5-6hrs. Is this a side effect? Or should i speak to my doctor? |

I don't remember whether it did that to me or not, I've taken it so long. You might bring it up with your pdoc.

When I take it I get only 3-4 hours sleep and spend the rest of the night finding people on the internet whose posts are wrong and letting them know.

I wish I did when it was happening. I denied my initial bipolar diagnosis for a *very* long time and presented it as moderate depression with ADHD. I would get SSRIs to treat depression, go hypomanic and then realize I was not depressed and stop taking meds until I dropped back down deep enough in the abyss to go back to the doctor. Wash, rinse, repeat. I took fluoxetine numerous times in that cycle.
