It should be fully understood that any time an anti-anxiety drug is being administered, a phenomenon called "disinhibition" is a possibility. This means that the animal's inhibitions regarding aggressive behavior could be reduced when anxiety about the consequences of these behaviors is removed. An animal who previously showed no signs of aggression may become aggressive on such medications.
The most frequently reported adverse reaction of fluoxetine is lethargy or drowsiness. Other potential reactions include reduced appetite and stomach upset.
