hi..sudden discontinuation of medication like fluoxetine is not advised as it may cause many physical symptoms and discomfort..so you had them..now franxit is a good choice as it belongs to a different group..so those symptoms are not so prominent..continue with your medication and visit your psychiatrist regularly..have a good health..
