Prozac side effects fatigue
Common Questions and Answers about Prozac side effects fatigue
prozac
Bloating can be a side effect of Prozac as it can cause intestinal swelling. The shakes may be a side effect as well.
If you're 18, your hips are naturally going to become larger. Nothing to worry about.
Get off the Yasmin if you can, unless you have to take it for some medical reason other than you don't want to become pregnant. In my opinion, that stuff is bad news. (See: http://en.wikipedia.
However, over time, fatigue and other side effects usually fade away. How long have you been on it? After 2-3 months side effects are not terribly common. I've been on it for almost 2 months now and I had lots of weird side effects at first (insomnia, nausea, jitteriness, fatigue, and others) but most all of that has faded away and I've found the drugs to be pretty helpful. I certainly have not had any panic attacks. The anxiety has been lessened and/or easier to deal with for me.
That has a lot to do with how to approach side effects. Fatigue is very common with meds; in fact, when they work to relax people they are quite often sedating to some extent. This will often pass, though everyone is different. Muscle aches are quite common with meds as well, probably because they tend to interfere with magnesium absorption and because they target neurotransmitters that don't just help regulate brain function, they also regulate other things.
Usually there are side effects, which should diminish with time. I found Prozac did not suit me at all, but it suits lots of other people. My side effects were so bad I had to stop the 10mg dose within a few weeks.
We all react differently to drugs, what suits one person, may not suit another. You have not been on Prozac long, so you may need to give it time to get into your body. If you really think the side effects are too bad, then I suggest you go back to the doctor.
Has anyone else taking Fluoxetine (similar to Prozac) experienced side effects? I have noticed some odd changes in the way my body responds to exercise; specifically, excessive sweating. I'm not sure if the medication is directly linked, but in the past year (I have been taking the drug for about 2.5 years) I break into an all over the body sweat very easily, and it has happened even when I'm not exercising.
When I came off of it, my doc put me on a taper as I came off of it. I did notice some side effects like naseau and increased anxiety, however I kept an open line of communication with the doc. I asked if it would be okay to go on a slower taper as I came off of it. He agreed and the slower taper seemed to help with the side effects.
I am glad that you are seeing a psychiatrist to help you with your medication prescriptions and questions.
I woke up this morning worried about side effects and felt like my heart was racing and going to beat out of my chest. I took 2 xanax (which I've been taking for years) and feel like I'm calming down, but I'm worried this racing heart is a side effect or if it's just my anxiety of taking the new medication. I want to get my life back but I think I'm afraid even this won't work. Would appreciate any advice or feedback.
I am wondering if anyone has any of the sexual side effects? Prozac was the first med I was given about 2 years ago and I felt dead to the world and had terrible sexual side effects. I had to stop them. My doc said I may get them since Celexa is in the same category of meds. If I do then we can try something else.
Hi Thank you for you response.
It's so long since I took Lexapro but from what I can remember the effect wasn't great. Did you have any side affects while taking Prozac?? as the side effects that I have encountered while taking the other medication is Fatigue, and I found that my Irratibility has worsened, they have also effected my sex life which has obviously had an impact on my marraige (I have a wonderful husband :0)).
t have the answer but it almost sounds as though you have answered your own question in that side-effects from prozac could be responsible.
Do you remember roughly how long it took to adjust to prozac last time?
I don't typically respond so much to the medication questions because medications can be complex and are best left to those with some knowledge or experience about them.
It sounds like your doctor is managing the drug transitions well.
I recently started taking Abilify and am experiencing uncontrolled shaking and light-headedness. What are the side effects of Abilify and are these a couple of them. Should I try something else to help with my depression. THe Psych. said that this in concert with my prozac should help me out.
Thanks for your help.
Prozac is a long lasting ssri, whereas all the others have a short half-life and leave the body within hours. So you still have Prozac in you, and so are probably still suffering its side effects. It will be a couple months before it's completely out of your system. Sorry you had such an extreme reaction to it. Try taking some fish oil and either wheat or barley grass to clean your system out and give you some good strong nutrition.
drowsiness, dizziness, weakness;
runny nose, sore throat, headache, flu symptoms; nausea, diarrhea, changes in appetite; weight changes; decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm; or dry mouth, increased sweating. You can read more about this through this link: http://www.drugs.com/prozac.html
Take care and regards.
I have been on 40 mgs paxil for 17 years with symptoms of depresseion completly controlled. I lost 60 pounds through exercize and diet before going to see the Doctor. I told him I wanted to lose 55 more pounds. He then switched me from paxil to prozac. He didn't tell me about the side affects of going off the pazil. He just told me to cut the paxil in half and take half a pill for a few days then begin the prozac overlapping a couple of days. Well...
