Prozac Side Effects (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

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?

Yes, it usually does aggravate anxiety for a short period of time, but you should experience an improvement, soon.

When I started taking it, it hit pretty bad about the 2nd and 3rd week, then finally eased off.

How are you feeling?

Thanks for the information! I dropped down to 15mg tabs and my depression and the jaw/sinus issues are better but my anxiety seems to be worse. It's awful!! Hoping this will even out over time. Any advice on this?

Yes, I can assure you both that such side effects only last for a few weeks, it was about 3 weeks for me, whenever I adjusted my dosage. They do improve and eventually go away completely. If they don't, then it might not be the right medication for you.

Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight loss.

Is there anything else I can help with?
