Prozac Fluoxetine

I have finally got back to prozac instead of the generic version of prozac and my heartburn is gone.. I have suffered with SEVERE heartburn for 4 years. I finally talked my doctor into giving me the brand name instead of generic and sure enough that was the cause of it.. Back 20 years ago I was put on prozac and was on it for many years and about 4 years ago I started getting generic prozac (fluoxetine) and within 30 minutes of taking it I had SUPER SEVERE heartburn that lasted for many hours!!! I would take antacids, tums, zantac, pepto, milk, Everything but nothing would put the fire out!! It's been 2 weeks now on brand name prozac and NO HEARTBURN!!! THANK THE LORD!!!!
I wanted to post this so maybe someone may get some relief if they are experiencing what I have went through for so many years..
Good luck and GOD BLESS!!!!

Hello, Renee! How are you? I am so glad that you found a solution to your problem.

I've had similar experiences with some medications and I frequently try to urge others to look at their medications first, when they experience such issues.

The FDA classifies this medication as an SSRI antidepressant and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and weight loss.

Is there anything I can help with?

Just wanted to update: Everything is going great since I have been back on my brand name Prozac. I know for a fact now that generic prozac fluoxetine was the cause of my years of severe heartburn. I have not had any heartburn since I have been back on the real prozac. I don't know what is in fluoxetine but it is NOT the same ingredients as name brand prozac. I am so glad I was able to figure out what was causing my SEVERE heartburn.... I hope no one else is suffering what I have with this drug....
