Dosulpine, and tricyclics, have SNRI effects, rather than SSRI effects, so I don't think fluoxetine would work here. In my case, I had only been taking it for a few weeks, and tapered off slowly until I was only taking a quarter of a pill - I was not prepared for what ensued. You are right though, not everyone experiences the same things with these kinds of medicines - presumably it all comes done to genetics. But I think it's worth mentioning that SNRIs and SSRIs can have awful side effects, especially since this often seems to be downplayed or even downright ignored by doctors (mine didn't even mention it as a possibility, and had even told me it was OK to stop without tapering).
