I am gaining weight (around my top waist)...very fast.... I am 60 and never had it.... Can it be the Nuzac? I am taking one every 2nd day for 2 years now... ## Hello, Elizabeth! How are you? This medication is listed as containing the active ingredient Fluoxetine and no, it's actually better known for being weight neutral or causing weight loss in some people that take it. However, the weight gain could be a normal symptom of aging, especially if you're postmenopausal. Gaining in that area of the body is a normal side effect of hormonal changes in women. Have you consulted your doctor? Are you on any other medications?

Hi I have started using nuzak after getting this panic feelings for no reason and I have lost my appetite, and I feel anxious all the time, how long does it take for nuzak to start to work and will it help my constant anxiety. ..? Please any help will be appreciated ## Hello, Richard! How are you? Fluoxetine is listed as being the active ingredient in Nuzak, it is an SSRI antidepressant and yes, it does help some people with anxiety. However, the only way to see if it will help you is by trying it. It can take about 4 to 5 weeks to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body to see if it works for you. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the difference between nuzak and fluoxetine . Would there be any different results in taking either nuzak or lilly fluoxetine. ## Hello, Gman! How are you? No, there is no difference, Nuzak is the brand name for a medication that has Fluoxetine as its active ingredient. They just call the generics by the name of the active ingredient, rather than a name brand, to keep the prices lower. This is an SSRI antidepressant and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am severely depressed and suffer from anxiety as well. I have started to see a psygologist and he recommended I ask my GP for medication. Which I did. He prescribed Lorien and Alzam. I thought it was working but then my panic attacks intensified. They are so severe that I have to go get an injection to stop it. It is so embarasing, as it makes me vomit, lets me faint and also give me pins and needles in my arms and my throught feels like I want to cry, but I don't. I cannot control myself and need help to get to the doctor for the injection. He has now prescribed Tranqipam for when I feel a panic attack come. This is very difficult for me, as I don't know it's comming until it is too late. I don't understand what triggers it, as I will get them at different times of th...

Why do lots of antidepressant pills contain hydrochloride? ## Hello, Paul! How are you? They don't contain it, that's the chemical salt they're derived from, you'll see it frequently on many medications, Fluoxetine Hydrochloride is the active ingredient in Prozac, but it is still just one ingredient, not two. The FDA lists the typical side effects of most antidepressants as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi I take fluoxetine and the capsule has always been green and yellow today I picked up my new scrips and there plain green ive googled this and every website says yellow and green even the manufacturers teva uk ltd are these the same ## Are there any markings on it? That is what would enable use to check. However, I'd recommend double checking the dosage to make sure you received the correct dose. Here, in the U.S., the 20mg capsules are green and yellow and the 10mg ones are just green. I have a bottle of each here, because I take 20mgs in the morning and 10mgs at night for perimenopause symptoms. The FDA classifies this medication as an SSRI antidepressant and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight loss.

Medical aid wont pay for lilly fluoxetine, only for nuzak.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and loss of libido. Learn more Fluoxetine details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have been taking Lilly Floxotine for many years but was given Nuzak last month. I have had a stabling headache on my left side and behind left eye for 10 days. Could it be from the change to Nuzak?

need reasons for 150 mg dosage and side effects ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Actually, 150mgs is not an approved dosage. The maximum daily dose of Fluoxetine is usually only 80mgs. This medication is an SSRI antidepressant and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes and dry mouth. Learn more Fluoxetine details here. Has your doctor prescribed that high of a dosage? ## My daughter has been on 150 mg of Prozac for over a month and a half. Around that time she experienced stomach pain, vomiting, nausea, etc. and it hasn't stopped since. It occurred to me that it could be the dosage amount. When googling, everything says 80 mg is the highest dosage. Is this correct? If so she needs to stop immediately and I will report the doctor!

Capsule, green top with M in black, grey bottom with 105 in black = generic fluoxetine (Prozac) 10mg made by Canadian pharmaceutical company Mint Pharmaceuticals. I realized I had my Rx filled with this generic rather than my usual (Novo), when I went looking for reasons why my anxiety had skyrocketed over the previous 2 weeks+/-. I suspect this is the cause and will find out soon when I find a pharmacy that still dispenses the Novo version. Just wanted to post this in case it's helpful to someone.

I have taken Prozac generic fluoxetine for two years. I rec'd new prescription from Northside. Since I started taking this drug, I have been hyper not sleeping, major reflux and heartburn, and today started with diarrhea. I am planning to return this drug to the pharmacy for another brand. I suffer from Celiac disease and don't need the addition issues with stomache problems. ## I am very sorry that you're having such problems. There can be slight differences between generic medications and it may contain an inactive ingredient that you shouldn't take with with Celiac disease. Are there any markings on it? That would enable me to check it further for you. Learn more Fluoxetine details here. ## I did not see any markings on the capsule. It is a two tone capsule that is na...

Taking: Synthoid Lysinopril Hydrochloride Fluoxetine Dexilant Advair Vivence Vicoprophen Chlor tabs ## Hello, Silvie! How are you? If you have high blood pressure or a cardiac condition, then you need to check with your doctor, before taking the Chlortab. Some antihistamines can elevate blood pressure and heart rate, so it may not be safe for you to take it. It would also be worsened due to the Vyvanse. Is there anything else I can help with?
