What Causes Red Itching Bumps On Lips After Having Fluoxetine?

Hi, I took Effexor and Fluoxetine together for a while (for one month). Suddenly I got an in my eyes (red) and (most importantly) a few red spots on my upper lip which are itchy and a little bumpy (the symptoms started after one week and became worser everyday). I stopped taking Fluoxetine on the 21th of july. The bump on my lip comes and goes at an interval of a few days but is becomming slowly smaller and less painful/itchy. My lips are dry. I read that Fluoxetine takes a while before disapearing from your body. Whent to a doctor and she said it s the Fluoxetine. Will it go away? I take a lot of medicines but never had this kind of reaction before. Thanks!

Hello,

I will suggest you to avoid taking fluoxetiene and get your allergy testing done for other common things. Take ceterizine 10mg once at night to keep things more smooth and soothing. it will go away with passage of time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
