I've been on fluoxetine for 6 months, starting off on 20mg and now on 60mg for my ocd. I also take seroquel 75mg daily spread out. Recently i have started to feel really high, like coming up on "xtc". I went to the doctors and they referred it to be SAD seasonal affective disorder, but i feel like its to do with the medication. I feel very spaced, clenched jaw constantly, dizzy and blurred vision. I'm just wondering if anyone else has felt similar? ## I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your medications. I am on 80mg prozac and 300mg seroquel a day. I was taking 25mg seroquel twice daily and the 300mg at night but I found that the prozac was all I needed during the day and stopped taking the 25mg during the day but kept my nightly 300mg of seroquel. The 25mg d...

I have been on nuzak for about eight day's for anxiety. If anything i am worse. Can barely function or get out if bed.Should i persevere as i desperatly want some quality of life back. ## Hello, Juliet! How are you? Nuxak is list as containing the active ingredient Fluoxetine and it is normal for things to worsen for a few weeks, before it reaches its full level of efficacy in the body and starts alleviating such symptoms. I've found that it usually takes about 3 weeks. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. If things don't improve after a couple weeks, then you should consult your PCP as it may not be the right medication to help you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi, I have been on Nuzak for ab...

I have taken Flunil 20mg for the last ten years. What are the long term effects of taking this medication? ## Flunil contains the active ingredient Fluoxetine, it is an SSRI antidepressant.

Such effects could include: weight gain, bone loss and liver damage. Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor? ## My baby is 1 year old and I am breastfeeding her 4-5 times a day.

I have been on Fluoxetine for 9 years and took 20mg but then I started taking every other day thinking I was gonna come off it, but started feeling bad again so I’m on my 4th week of taking it every day again. The side effects are really bad again, thought my body will be used to it. Can anyone help ## What side effects are you experiencing? Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you! The NIH lists the typical ones as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, and weight loss, along with others. If you were taking it every other day, then started taking it every day, again, that is essentially a dosage change, so it is normal for you to experience side effects, again, for about 4 to 6 weeks.

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!

Also reduced Zoloft to 100mg instead of 150mg. on my own initiative, enough to get by, I thought. Had post partum depression, and later terrib...
