Hi
I am new to this forumI have been on Fluoxetine 20mg since I was 40 (female). I am now 59. For the last month I have had urticaria daily. The rash I have looks like serum sickness but I don't have a fever or aches and pains. I also have larger welts which appear to be hypersensitivity urticaria. I have been to a doctor and I get results next week. I am now thinking that it might be the fluoxetine. Today it is very bad and I cannot control it with antihistamines.
I have posted some images of my rash here

I get the itchy rash badly if I go for a swim and that is called cold-induced urticaria.But it comes up anytime. Mainly on inner arms and legs, abdomen and back.
Can anyone suggest if this might be a fluoxetine reaction even though I have been on the meds for 19 years?Thanks
