Common Questions and Answers about Fluoxetine tablets vs capsules

prozac

Avatar m tn 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 -_-...
Avatar m tn Try the generic version of prozac..called fluoxetine. It comes in white tablets. Pills and capsules seem to vary in their effects with this medication.
Avatar f tn I would be more concerned about the expiration date on your medications. Please check the date and don't take any expired meds. Yes you are prone to serotonin syndrome as both are serotonergic. You should reduce both your fluoxetine and buspirone dosage to play it safe but don't break any capsules (I think Prozac is in capsules and you should never open a capsule). I think the Buspar is in tablets so its okay to break in half.
Avatar m tn 5mg of xanax (half tablet in morning and half at night) He has said to take two fluoxetine tablets together for the first 10 days and then start taking 3 fluoxetine tablets together. I have noticed that in the prescription of the fluoxetine tablets it says that fluoxetine should be spread out and be taken one in the morning and one in the night. But the doctor said that he should take them all together at the same time. So, today we gived him two fluoxetine tablets together.
Avatar f tn Also, two more questions - they may seem trivial, but they are bothering me - is it safe to break open the Fluoxetine capsules, as I can not swallow them? Also I am taking 5mg Diazepam - is that safe? My GP says it's OK, I just want to know your experiences. I am very scared at the moment. Thank you.
527657 tn?1214051850 Fluoxetine is generic Prozac. I've been on it a few times, and I'm back on it again. It will take 4-6 weeks before you begin to feel a difference (sometimes sooner). But it will happen. The only side effect I've ever had from it was insomnia, but that always goes away in a few weeks, so give it some time. As far as alcohol goes, you don't say how much you drank, but I have had a couple of beers now and then on fluoxetine without any problems.
Avatar m tn 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.
798555 tn?1292787551 I take Solaray magnesium bio citrate capsules 400 mg X 2/day. I find that I absorb the capsules better than I do pills/tablets; at least I can tell more difference. And the formulation I take is supposed to be for "enhanced absorption". I have a particular routine --- levo at 3:30 am, followed about an hour later with one of my blood pressure meds; 7:00 am - my cytomel and other bp med.
Avatar n tn Ive been to the doctors and they put me on Fluoxetine tablets. One a day until they tell me to stop. However I've had two so far but want to stop. I know you have to slowly come off of them but if I've only had two can I just stop? Please help!

Avatar f tn m wondering about rasberry leaf capsules. Just becuase it would be easier for me to take. Questions (btw im 37w+4d) How many should i take a day?.. The bottle says 2 a da but on some websites it says 2 doses 3 times a day. Have any of you actually taken it?? Does it help induce labor or make labor easier?
Avatar f tn Can't help but to try! I read a story on here of a lady who inserted 3 tablets at night for only two nights then she also thought it wasn't working but then her water broke the second day :) i just got a bottle today and gonna try it tonight!
Avatar f tn My Obstetrician prescribed me oral tablets instead of cream. See if that's a possibility.
Avatar f tn I've just started up fluoxetine (prozac) for the second time and am having trouble functioning. Does anyone know when they started to feel ANY relief from anxiety? also, I really need to gain some weight back so does fluoxetine give anyone an INCREASED appetite? Thank you for your help! Also, I'm taking it at night... do any of you think that is a bad idea?
