Could Dizziness And Pins And Needles On Right Hand Be The Side Effects Of Stopping Fluoxetine Tablets?
Hi wondering if anyone can help, I have been getting dizzy for about a week now and it is steadily getting worse and in the last two days I have had more or less constant pins and needles in my right hand and ever so slightly in the left hand. I take fluoxetine but suddenly stopped it about 10 days ago due to running out of them could this be linked?

Yes these symptoms can be due to withdrawal effects of fluoxetine and this should go away in due course of time i.e. in a few weeks time.
Does not seem like anything to worry about a great deal.
