t know if these side effects are just in my head, if the numbness is just my inability to deal with problems or if it is actually the Fluoxetine. Should I up my dosage or ask if I could change meds???
He said nothing wrong in me and wrote Mustong (a herbal compound), Alprazolam and Fluoxetine tablets. Accordingly I used but, no result I observed.
I gone thru some medical books for sexual impotence and gathered some information on various tests.
Later, when I was 29, again I met the same urologist Mr. X and expressed my willing to go for Doppler ultrasound test and attended, which revealed that there was arterial insufficiency.
My brother went to a psychiatrist and he prescribed him fluoxetine and xanax. He said that my brother should take one 20mg tablet of fluoxetine for the morning and 0.5 tablet for xanax for morning and night for 14 days . He said to take the 0.5 mg xanax tablet half in morning and the other half at night
So, my brother took the fluoxetine and xanax for 14 days and then again went to the psychiatrist. My brother has not felt any improvement for his ocd or depression from the tablets.
Another way to avoid withdrawal is to take fluoxetine (Prozac) for a few weeks after stopping Lexapro (or any other SSRI), then simply stopping the fluoxetine. The very long half-life of fluoxetine causes it to leave the body over a period of months, tapering so slowly that the person doesn't have any withdrawal.
My recommendation at this point would be to go back on a low dose of Lexapro--maybe half of what you used to take.
Hey, I have been taking the generic fluoxetine hydrochloride 10 mgs tablets for about 1.5 years now. My pharmacy recently changed manufacturers and the tablets are now blue... I do NOT tolerate these tablets as well and have also tried the 10mg capsules with the same effects (less effective more side effects- nausea, dizziness, fat face, racing thoughts, decreased libido, nightmares, sleep disturbances, etc.).. I have called several pharmacies but they all have the blue tablets too -_-...
What you're now on is Prozac. Two problems potentially here. First, you can't just quit Zoloft -- you need to taper off it as most people get some withdrawal from quitting these meds. That most likely explains your symptoms more so than the Prozac. Often, at the tail end of a taper down, Prozac will be used to help when withdrawal is bad because it's considered easier to stop taking, but that's only at the very end of the taper.
In my opinion, you are taking WAY too many different medications. Sometimes, "more" is not always better.
If it was working for you, then I would say..."great, keep doing what you're doing", but obviously the regimen you're on isn't effective. I would discuss that you are still struggling with a high level of anxiety with your MD, and even seek a 2nd opinion about your meds/condition.
I was on fluoxetine (Prozac) for over a year from July 2011 then weaned off as was feeling and doing great and not wanting to be dependent on them, I had a bad week 5 week ago now with sleep so my doctor put me back on them and after 1/2 week felt great off 20mg at tea time, now this last week mainly from Wednesday I feel rubbish I know I'm getting 7/8 hours sleep but not feeling refreshed was wondering if changing to take it morning at 20mg and see if it works better or carry on tea time ta
While coming downhill a lot of times the heel strike causes jarring throughout the body.
I've had depression for some time and was prescribed fluoxetine a few months ago. In the second and third week of taking it I experienced what I can only describe as mild euphoria and a sort of agitation- not being able to sleep, restlessness and the shakes- which was not unpleasant because of the euphoric feeling that accompanied it.
