Hi,
Thanks for the query.
According to your description the possible causes for your problem are:
-Thyroid abnormality
-Fluctuation in the cortisol levels
-Disturbance in the liver function due to prolonged usage of pill
-Side effects of the fluoxetine (lovan).
So, you once consult physician, go for general examination and blood tests for:
Thyroid profile
Cortisol levels
Liver function tests
Hemoglobin level
With this primary workup the possible cause for your problem could be made-out and treatment can be given accordingly.

Hi,
According to your age diabetes is somewhat less possibility. But if you are having any family history you can go for RBS testing once.
The conditions I mentioned can present with generalized symptoms involving many systems of the body.
So possibly after getting investigated for them the cause of your problem can be identified.
Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
