Needing To Start Taking Prozac Safely

My doctor prescribed Prozac, but my dentist prescribed oxycodone for oral surgery. I read that the combination is dangerous. My question is when can I start taking Prozac safely? I have taken oxycodone 5-325 for a week. I have stopped today 5/11/2016

Hello, Chrisden! How are you?

The main issue with this combination is that the Oxycodone in the Percocet can increase the effect of Prozac, depending on the dosage and other medications a person may be taking, it could be too much for some people and may result in overdose or serotonin syndrome.

It's not that they can't ever be taken together, but it must be done very cautiously.

Unless your doctor instructs otherwise, you should be able to start your Prozac within a day or two of stopping the Percocet.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Is there anything else I can help with?
