Brief Answer:
The anxiety is due to AWA 30ED

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome to Health Care Magic

I can understand your concern. AWA 30ED is a combined oral contraceptive pill and is known to cause anxiety. These symptoms should reduce in about a couple of weeks because of tolerance. Continue to take Fluoxetine as advised, if symptoms persist then ask your doctor for some other contraceptive drug.

Thanks, Hope this helps you, if you have more doubts you can ask again.

Take care
