Prozac side effects muscle
Common Questions and Answers about Prozac side effects muscle
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.
If you took just 2 doses it really isn't even in your system yet -- side effects start before effects, but Prozac lasts a long time in the body, unlike other ssris -- 2-4 days half life for the drug, 7-14 days for the metabolite of the drug, but it can stay in the body for a month. But you're really not on it yet, so those numbers really don't apply to you -- it takes Prozac about 5 weeks to reach a steady state where it really starts to work because of its longer half life.
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.
ve stayed with it the longest. My question is regarding the side effects. Occasionally I will notice an internal restless feeling -- usually lasts a few days. It's almost like I feel kind of antsy. My sleep is not disturbed -- I sleep normal as usual. I've also noticed, and have in the past, that I have some twitches. Various muscles in my body will twitch from time to time.
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 had no side effects from effexor, but Prozac caused unbelievable side effects.
Among them were strong twitches and jerks. I actualy broke my nose when I was sleeping and my knee jerked up and my head jerked down! I would suddenly wake up after a strong jerk threw me on the floor or when laying down I would suddenly find myself jerked to a sitting position.
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.
To be honest, it sounds more like possible withdrawal symptoms from going off the Lortab cold turkey. What other symptoms are you having? Muscle aches? Sweating/Chills? Sneezing? Diarrhea? Nausea and/or vomiting? Those are some common side effects of opiate w/d.
Serotonin syndrome is actually quite rare and almost always requires a pretty hefty dose of an SSRI like drug to trigger it. It's usually considered a medical emergency.
I would discuss all of the above with your doc.
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.
Not to say some of these might not be side effects of starting Prozac, but again, if you look up side effects of withdrawal when you quit one of these drugs, you'll see the ones you're describing -- crying fits, electric shocks, vertigo, nausea are withdrawal effects. The sweats could come from any drug, so that might be withdrawal or it might be starting the Prozac.
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.
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
