It is important to understand that whenever an anti-anxiety medication is used, the phenomenon of “disinhibition” is possible. What this means is that an animal’s inhibitions about aggressive behavior may be reduced when his or her anxiety over the consequences of such behavior is removed. An animal that was not previously aggressive could potentially become aggressive.

The most common side effect of fluoxetine use is drowsiness or lethargy. Other side effects include upset stomach and appetite reduction.
