prozac

Avatar f tn I am going to suggest that you talk to your doctor about Wellbutrin. It has the least amount of sexual side affects. I am on 300 mg XR of Wellbutrin and have no sexual side affects whatsoever. I did when I took prozac. It is not an SSRI but rather it alters other brain chemicals other than serotonin. I take it for anxiety and it works very well for me. Just a thought.

1275577 tn?1273233214 thank you so much for your advice. i have to say that switching my meds for weight reasons was not my best choice. I should have stayed with Prozac, other then the enormous weight gain i had no sexual side effects or other problems with it.
692643 tn?1372611227 Hello Dusty, Thank You for your Response, Actually I am On Savella Over a Month. (My Primary Dr Gave me Savella). Let's Start with the Prozac First. shrink gave me Prozac 10 mg..I didn't take them because my Mother was Ailing from Alzimiers/Parkisin We lost her Last Tues, I didn't want to take the Prozac I needed to take care of my Mom & I wanted to Feel..Not be numb when my Mom's time comes..I'm afraid to mix also....any meds...
Avatar f tn First of all when starting a new antidepressive medication, symptoms can actually increase at first and medication can take up to 3 months to go into effect. I could not tolerate Prozac as it caused my to feel as I was going insane.... insomnia, hyperactivity, mood swings and ect. Best advice is to stay in contact with prescribing physician and share your concerns. Also keep in mind, it may take several attempts to find correct medication that works for you.
Avatar n tn My psychiatrist has just added Zyprexa to take with Prozac as the Prozac is not working like it used to work.I'm worried about the weight gain with Zyprexa, is there something else that could be used with the Prozac instead? Also until now I've also been taking 1 mg. Ativan in the morning and 1 mg Ativan before bed. Is it safe to use Ativan with the Zyprexa?
15911542 tn?1443910938 Hi. My cat (trissy) is 6 years old. She was put on Prozac in April 2015 for aggression. It has worked, she is still on it a very low dose 0.04ml. a day. But she got constipated 2 days ago and was straining to go. I gave her lactose from the vet. She went fine today but I noticed blood on the floor. We checked her litter and looks like the blood is in her urine but I'm not sure. Can the Prozac give her constipation, and from her forcing to go maybe this caused the blood?
Avatar f tn t know if my body just needed sometime to adjust or what. I know that it was always recommended to take it with food which might be a help for you. I know that eventually it didn't bother my stomach even when taking 40mg on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.

But know when i take the lortab i have really bad anxiety and 2 days ago i had a panick attack which freaked me and my husband both out.but i realizied that i usually have anxiety after i take the lortab or when i go to bed at night. So an the lortab be giving me some anxiety or should i be back on my prozac or is it a combination of both?

Avatar m tn I broke up with my girlfriend recently (two months ago) and before one month I started to have something like panic seisures.One or two times a day I start thinking very negative things that make me very anxious and I'm having a feeling I'm losing my mind. This feeling sometimes go away and sometimes not,but If I take 0.5 mg xanax I'm ok. Also I swet a lot in some social occations that normaly I could handle easily althought I have some kind of social phobia.
Avatar m tn Prozac is very safe to take. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that different meds affect different people in different ways. Some folks out there HAVE had a very bad experience with Prozac, and some have not. The same could be said for EVERY single med discussed on this forum! I would hope that your doctor talked to you about possible side effects. If not, I would call his office and speak with either him or his RN or PA and get the information you need.
Avatar n tn You should not drink while taking prozac or any other antidepressant. Alcohol is a depressant and drinking defeats the purpose of taking antidepressants and will make depression a lot worse. Tell him to STOP drinking or quit taking the prozac since his drinking is only making his depression worse.
1035021 tn?1296820707 The thing is that I had in my medikit a bottle of prozac (fluoxetine) and a few months ago I bought a bottle of 5HTP so I started to take a capsule of 5HTP and a 20mg pill of prozac since paxil went empty. My big question is if I substitute paxil with prozac will I have the same withdrawal of paxil as I were'nt taking it, cause I'm starting to fill little zaps but don't know if is my imagination of this is real. Will appreciate your advices, time is running...

Avatar n tn faldaprevir, ribavirin and BI 207127 I have to take the tablets every 12 hours. Should I take the tablets in the evening as late as possible because they speed me up or should I take them earlier?
Avatar f tn Its all a little overwhelming. Now to my question. I have a prescription fir Prozac. Should I try if.

I had a pretty good week then bam. I stay busy bit that doesnt seem to relieve these feelings. I don't want the Prozac to interfere with the brain healing. Do u think I should just five it more time?
1094370 tn?1317134825 Hi there, I was given Prozac for anxiety and took it for about two months. When I got to 40 Mg I started have bad stomach pains and nausea then the acid reflux started. I went off the prozac three weeks ago and am still struggling with this acid reflux. I HATE it so much as I'm sure the rest of you do. It's making me miserable. Has anyone had a similiar experience with Prozac and if so, how long did it take for the reflux to clear up once off the meds?
Avatar f tn m wondering if the medication is no longer working for me and if I should talk with my doctor about switching to another AD. I have been treated for depression for over 10 years. When first diagnosed I was given Prozac which gave me migraine headaches. I was then prescribed Zoloft and broke out in a rash. I took Wellbutrin for awhile and did not experience much relief. So my doctor put me on Paxil which I continue to take. Comments from this community are welcome.
