Prozac and vitamins
Common Questions and Answers about Prozac and vitamins
prozac
I am able to live with my attacks (which can get really bad at times) and I actually have a fear of taking meds. I think the only thing I will take is a child's dose of tylenol only when I have a fever or migrane. I have discovered that taking Vitamin B Complex capsules have helped reduce my stress and anxiety levels. Also, I still love taking Flinstone vitamins, on top of the vit B complex. I feel great when I don't miss out in taking one a day.
If birth control is helping mood swings, the problem is likely hormonal, and Prozac doesn't address that issue. If she's been on the meds for as long as you say, it's unlikely to cause nausea now, unless she started the birth control recently. Personally, I wouldn't want a 15 year old to be taking birth control -- playing with hormones is probably not the healthiest thing to do for anyone, other means of birth control are safer for health.
I am taking Vyvanse and Prozac, and I'm having trouble getting myself to eat. I am still in a healthy weight range, so I'm not worried about that. But I've been weak, fatigued, and dizzy at times because I'm not eating enough. Are there any protein shakes I should try, or something like that, so I can be getting the nutrients I need? I hate most protein shakes because I can't stand the texture, and they're usually gross. But I have to do something.
Hi everyone, well it's an absolute miracle I made it this far. Thanks to ALL of you for your support!
I was depressed before the pills, during the pills and now after. I know I suffer from depression and have been on Prozac for a few years which I'm tapering down and getting off of. I know the blahs are all part of this process. I was so proud of myself for the first few days and to be perfectly honest, the WD I was so terrified of just didn't happen for me.
Since adding wellbutrin on june 10th to my prozac which i am now up to 50 mg and xanax and adderall i have devolped a tummy...its fat i have never had this problem before Im still feeling depressed but functioning...dont see my dr for 3 months,i would like to just go off meds,im taking a vitamin b cpmplex now and emergenc hoping the vitamins will help....
Your depression may not warrant Prozac - it may only need adequate thyroid hormones, vitamins and minerals. Prozac does tend to cause tiredness and when one already had fatigue the last thing you want is a medication that exacerbates the issue.
I think you should ask to have testing done to make sure your pituitary gland is working properly... since you already know you have low testosterone and hypothyroidism.. testing for diabetes will take of that part.
The only other medications I am on are Klonopin and Gianvi (birth control), neither of which should interact with the Prozac. Since the prozac, I have been vomiting, not sleeping, and feeling "out of it". The pharmacist I spoke with said it should take one more day to get out of my system. If I did in fact have serotonin syndrome, I would most likely either be dead by now or coming out of it, correct?
Are you treating yourself for PAWS with aminos and taking vitamins? I never did the opiates you did, I was on tramadol, and 48 days off it, I have anxiety. But I know it is coming from withdrawal.
So proud of you for getting off the opiates.
It's worth it. You were on a longer time. I was on 5 years for chronic pain. I don't expect it to vanish, but the anxiety is rough and it's real.
Please know you aren't alone!
Hi there. I'm not the best person to answer this question. I have taken Prozac with success in the past. Currently I take a different drug. BUT I also take folic acid to counter the effects of methotrexate for RA and I don't feel it has had any effect on making my OCD worse. Honestly, over the counter medication I have not had much success with.
Type your medical question hereI am on Soboxin and am taking prozac, lorratidine, motrin and vitamins for hair skin and nails, cranberry pills and also an everyday vitamin and keep coming up positve for diazaepam which I do not take can you please tell me if something I am taking can make my urines possitive as I am mad and know what I take and do not and am tired of being made out to look guilty at my OAS program I have been clean and want to stay this way but being made to feel like I am lying
I am currently taking 40mg prozac after over a 3 year addiction to tramadol and the occasional hydro.I haven't had any pain pills since Jan.7th and started the prozac the same time. My question, what other AD could I try that could help with motivation, energy. I just feel blah most of time. Its like I sit in a stooper most of the day and just do enough to get by. I've asked this before and some suggestion my AD needs changed. I have a dr. apt.
My boss takes prozac and he is so depressed lately...I just keep asking "r u ok"? he has had numerous ankle surgeries and is in pain as well.....he is just so "flat" lately....I know him from highschool and he was a "partier" I am a little worried about the lortabs he takes but it is not my place to bring that up at all...I have never taken prozac but i do know that not every AD is the right choice for you...
Somedays its my thigh and knee, Forearms and wrist, calves and ankles, lower back and butt, my entire ribcage, my upper back and neck to the top of my head.The pain comes in few different forms sometimes it is a deep aching and lasts a day or so, Sometimes it's a quick stabbing/burning pain that lasts for a few hours. Sometimes the pain is intense and other times just annoying. I've been having alot of muscle twitches as well.
The Dr said this would go away once the prozac fully kicked in , but its been a month and nothing. I know the prozac is helping but i have ups and downs all day. If I sit at home by myself for an hr or two i will feel depression and or anxiety. I guess my question is..... do you think that I should request a higher mg of prozac (20) or keep giving the 10mg pills a try? I hate having to try so hard to not feel depressed.
Hi i'm on Prozac and trazodone if you start on a low dose of trazodone it shouldn't be an issue and there really is no interaction with trazodone and Prozac because I've been on trazodone and Prozac for years and I've never had a problem you just have to take it like maybe you're better off just taking half a tablet or something
First of all, you shouldn't just stop taking antidepressants without discussing it with your doctor. Fortunately, you weren't on the Prozac long enough and you were at a very low dose, so you didn't experience the nasty effects of going cold turkey off these types of meds.
Prozac can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to reach "steady state" in your body. That is the point at which it will begin to help you.
I have been on and off prozac for 4 years and i now am experiencing heartburn. I take 20mg at night because it makes me dizzy but i dont get the heartburn until the afternoon the next day. I was wondering is it safe to take ranitidine 150mg effervescent? I took it all the time when needed before being back on prozac and it works i was wondering does it cause any side affect?
