Prozac

Many drugs have severe side-effects, not to mention are considered "Narcotic". Only a doctor can tell you what is right for you. Never self-prescribe your own drugs. You may not need it after all. If you have depression seek help, depression can become very serious.

yes. very often actually

Practically impossible.

Incomplete list but these medications have reported serious interactions with Prozac (fluoxetine): Phenylpropanolamine, tramadol, fentanyl, pentobarbital, propoxyphene, pethidine (meperidine), naloxone, pentazocine, sumatriptan, phenyltoloxamine, remifentanil, sufentanil.

I have one of the best Gynaes and he has put me on lilly-fluoxetine, he has assured me that it is safe to use!

I am not a doctor but I would strongly advise not to. I really don't think that's the proper way to take it and there have been a lot of reports of negative side effects already from unproperly administrating prozac.

The brand name for Fluoxetine is Prozac, Sarafem or Prozac.

Prozac, a trade name for fluoxetine is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant. Its benefits, among many is that it affects chemicals in the brain which may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Also, Prozac is used to treat major depressive disorders such as bulimia nervosa- an eating disorder, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), panic disorders, and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder).

Whilst its usage typically manifests itself after about a fortnight, (two weeks), there are side-affects which can include nervousness, loss of sleep, slight anxiety, and very rarely nausea. Generally, after a brief period of endurance, these side-affects dissipate after a brief period of usage. As for Prozac assisting with matters of diet, (what it was originally created for), or anxieties, it is highly doubtful that one might feel any change in these conditions within 24 hours. Mostly, the initial side-effect is feeling somewhat jittery or anxious. It may be that the doses you are taking are too high initially.

Additionally, it is advisable to check your blood pressure. If you are obese, or facing other challenges which affect blood pressure, it may be best to consider changing to a similar SSRI such as Citalopram.

Eli Lilly (Dista Products)

Phenergan (promethazine), when given via injection should always be injected into a large muscle. Ventrogluteal is the best site (hip-buttocks area). It should NEVER be injected IV push as it is a vesicant and causes severe irritation to the vessel walls including scleroses (forming scar tissue within a vein). If you do this, you'll notice the vein crimping up under your skin.

If it is accidentally injected into an artery, it CAN potentially lead to gangrene. If given IV, which is really never done as there are better IV alternatives, it must be greatly diluted and administered slowly and there are still risks of tissue damage.

Stick to IM injections. In the rear end. And dont try to give them to yourself. Have someone who knows the anatomical landmarks and how to give IMs correctly.

Neither Prozac nor Strattera are uppers or downers. Prozac works on serotonin, and Strattera works on norepinephrine, two of our brain cocktails. Both drugs level out their respective neurotransmitters; nothing is added or removed, just made to work more efficiently. Prozac may inhibit some of the activity by Strattera; as for being safe, however, this is for a doctor to decide and monitor. Each case is different.

Just say no! to this combination of drugs. THere is no research indicating the efficacy, benefits or risks of this kind of drug combination.

Taking this combination is risky and can lead to sudden death in a worst case scenario.

My daughter took Prozac for PMDD. For nine months, it has been very successful. Now, she has started having crying jags, and we discontinued the Prozac. She is nineteen, and I think the Prozac may be exacerbating other symptoms, or perhaps it is causing depression. We are not sure, so we are exploring other options.

YES

sorry mate, it is not the RX drugs it is the umbrella of speculated personality disorder that bar one from entrance into military. Stop taking them with DR.s orders of course as it is dangerous to stop cold turkey, wait a year and you will be fine. I know this sucks but If you want to get in this is the only way. You can get back on after boot camp but keep it private.

I don't know if its safe or not but I would also like to know. As I took vicodin yesterday for some dental pain and am not feeling all that great today. I am currently taking 20mg of Prozac a day.

I am taking the same thing(20mg of Prozac) along with 600mg of lithium daily, and also have dental pain with vicodin prescribed. I called my pharmasist and he says that it is fine to take them together but that the vicodin will make you more tired than normal. The not feeling good after taking some vicodin thing is what I call a vic hangover, it happens to me after every time I have taken more than say 4 the day before.

don't hold me to this but i have read from another web site to wait at least 5 weeks although probably best asking a doctor

If you quit cold turkey, Paxil has withdrawal symptoms that are flu-like. Prozac doesn't have any withdrawal symptoms. That's why I switched.

I just saw my Dr. Today because I am switching from Lexapro to Prozac because of weight gain on Lexapro. This is coming from my Dr. You MUST NOT MIX LEXAPRO and PROZAC. They are not compatible chemically. You must allow at least 3 or more days for the one drug to "wash out" of your system before you start the new one. You may need more time than that. Confirm this with your Dr.

"Prozac can often cause loss of appetite, nausea, and diarrhea, which may contribute to weight loss. Often, these side effects go away with time. Also, since weight gain can be a depression symptom, treating the depression can lead to weight loss."
