Prozac Side Effects (Page 2)

I was on 10mg and just went up to 20mg 5 days ago. My jaw hurts, sinuses are blocked and my mouth feels sore like I ate too much salt. I also feel foggy and off. Is this normal? How long will this last?

I’ve been off of it due to bad side effects. turns out I can’t take it anymore. I quit taking it and after that I felt weird vibrating feelings in the back of my throat I enjoy singing and it was difficult to do that seeing as I’d feel scratchy and irritated afterwards. My speaking pitch wasn’t level. kept going up and down. I was short of breath too. to say the least I was losing my mind. anyone else? I’m now on Celexa. I’m waiting a few more weeks to see if it kicks in. so far my anxiety, panics and episodes of irrational thinking still come every now and then. I’ve read you’ll feel that at first and you’ll just have to wait it out.

I've been on it for 9 years. Now off. How many months will the side effects last?

Hello, I'm on my 3rd month of fluoxetine hcl 10 mg. My anxiety has improved. I still have panic episodes, though just not as severe. I still have the depression issue though. Seems like a mainstay for me. I'm worried about this libido issue and am wondering if it might be a testosterone deficiency instead of a side effect. Has anybody else had this issue? I'm asking for advice or suggestions as it's hard to discuss this issue with my primary care physician. Thanks guys.

My 22 year old step daughter is on 40mg of Prozac a day. She’s been on varying dosages since she was 12 my husband tells me. She alternates between anxiety attacks that keep her in her room - she paces around a pile of clothes all day long and nights out partying that end in tears and delusional behaviour (she was arrested and told the police a story that was straight from a Netflix story about a serial killer). She gets colds and sore throats and swollen glands every other week - so misses lots of work. She doesn’t have any friends and can’t bond with people in the office. It’s like there’s no real personality there - just a bundle of behaviours. Whenever there is an incident, she begs whoever has seen it not to tell anyone else - consequently no one has the full picture. If she drinks even a little bit of alcohol, what would be someone elses’s Hangover is her 3 day anxiety attack. Does this sound like anyone else’s Prozac experience? I’m wondering whether I’m seeing Prozac side effects or something else...

I've been on Suboxone 6mg daily for 3 years now and recently been put on Lisinopril for high blood pressure and metformin for diabetes. I've been on methadone 90mg for the years five years ago and popped pills for 4 years before that. It's a known fact that opiates rob you of testosterone. I had mine checked 2 months ago and it was very low so I started treatment for that but had to stop to get my blood pressure under control because testosterone treatment can raise blood pressure. I'm starting to wean myself off of Suboxone because it's robbed me of so much. Granted it helped me the way it was supposed to but I believe I was on it for too long. Now that I have a great support system I'm ready. Get your testosterone levels checked and therapy if needed because after my third week in it I felt like a young man again. Good luck and God Bless.

I to am in a Suboxone treatment program. Thank you for your help and information. Your story sounds almost exactly like mine; high blood pressure, diabetes and all. Though my opiate use started when I was 15 and ran rampant till about 354 days ago. My next primary care visit I will be having my testosterone checked. Unfortunately the Suboxone I take now is used for the chronic pain I have from the two hip replacements I have and the issues with my back. Thank you so much Johnny for the insight and information. God bless.
