My daughter has had a recurring sore throat since her dosage of fluoxetine was raised in the fall. She has been tested for mono three times and told that she just has a virus or some sort. Her psychiatrist says that it could not be caused by the fluoxetine. Her throat has hurt for four weeks now. Not sure what to do.
Can fluoxetine cause a sore throat?

These are serious side effects, you must call her Dr. asap:
severe skin reaction - fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.

Thank you for your response! Of those side effects listed, she only has the sore throat. I'm not sure why her psychiatrist would dismiss this since it is listed as a possible side effect! I am wondering if there are others who have experienced this?
You are most welcome.
