Hi prodep or fluoxetine at normal therapeutic doses (10-40 mg) should not cause the symptoms mentioned by you. So what is the dose that you are taking and any history of hypertension or heart problems? Also it can cause bp drop in elderly patients, so it is not impossible that you may have it given your age is 66, thought not exactly elderly.

No, fluoxetine does not decrease your bp. Headache is a temporary side effect of fluoxetine and it will go away within the first week. If the headache lasts longer, you can contact psychiatrist to change the medication.

You can either reduce dose or take sertraline instead.
