Generalized anxiety disorder requires CBT with medicine for complete cure. And fluoxetine 60 mg is high dose for GAD. Please review with your psychiatrist.

Hi Sir
That for seeking help here.
Please don't feel upset. Fluoxetine 60 mg is not a good idea for GAD..
You will end up with lot of side effects ..... If 20 mg is not working for you and reduction of your anxiety symptoms not above 40 percentage in clinical rating ...there was no need to increase it ...
If you are tolerating it well then you r very lucky . If you have gastritis and sexual side effects then it's time to switch to a new SSRI...
Next Steps
Happy to help you .
