Four patients treated with fluoxetine alone developed generalized urticaria. One also suffered polyarthritis. These reactions subsided when fluoxetine was stopped. After 6-12 months, because of progressive psychiatric problems, fluoxetine was reintroduced using a desensitization protocol. In each case this was well tolerated, and fluoxetine has been continued without adverse affects for 3-10 months.
