Prozac

You are permitted to have your children take antidepressant drugs but they should be closely monitored. These drugs will normally have a "black box" warning, which is the most serious type of drug warning. It warns that taking the drugs will increase the risk of suicide in children. Because the youth have not fully developed their neurological and hormonal systems, the drugs can result in very detrimental effects to the body. Using these medications can prove very risky for there may be safer alternatives. They are meant more for the adult body instead.

what schedule is prozac

During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities.

The related link also states to monitor the central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant for effects that may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients. It is labeled a moderate interaction.

no. or YES Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. An overdose of Prozac can be fatal. In addition, combining Prozac with certain other drugs can cause symptoms of overdose. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

I have been on Prozac for 8 years. I quit cold turkey a month ago and still have brain zaps and fatigue. My withdrawl symptoms were bad the first week and then gradually got better. Week 3 was good as far as the withdrawls were very mild. And, now in week 4 the withdrawls are extreme. My brain zaps are strong, but only when I move my head from side to side.

Everything I have read states that withdrawl symptoms can last up to 3 months. I pray that I get better soon. I must say that even with the withdrawls, I am still happy to be off Prozac. I feel like a new man!

does prozac affect eye vision?

The standard dosage for Prozac is 20mgs. Your doctor may adjust this according to different factors.

No

I would'nt, I know of several people who have overdose on this med., myself being one of them, I wasn't taking it regularly and then took my reg.dose to sleep and was out of it for 24 hours!!! If you do take it for sleep, take a fraction of your precribed dose or you'll be sorry!

It is possible to breastfeed while taking antidepressants as long as you are carefully monitored by a physician.

The dosage of fluoxetine hydrochloride required for an overdose depends both on the mass of the person in question and how long that person has been taking the drug. For approximately four weeks, the level of fluoxetine in the bloodstream increases, as its presence inhibits its own metabolization. This decreases the amount of fluoxetine required to reach a level associated with adverse effects.

The lowest known dosage of fluoxetine hydrochloride associated with death was 520 mg. However, the actual cause of death in this case was not confirmed to be overdose. On the other hand, the largest known overdose of only fluoxetine hydrochloride was 8 full grams. This patient subsequently made a full recovery.

My doctor prescribed 400mg Seroquel, 500mg Depakote XR 2x a day, 450mg Lithium 2x a day, and next week he is adding Lamictal. I spent one month inpatient, and have been released for a week with no problems. I would assume this means Lamictal is fine with Depakote.

It is IMPORTANT to have blood tests done weekly while on Lithium, to ensure you don't get toxic levels. I have been told to NEVER just stop taking Lamictal, as it causes Steven Johnson's disease (requires an immediate trip to the ER burn unit because your skin will "fall off your body".

So just TRUST YOUR DOCTORS ORDERS!! :)

No, do not! Whatever you do never mix an SSRI with MDMA. There is a possibility of frying your brain when both are mixed together. If your going use a drug, especially one as serious as E, please research it properly first.

That depends on how it affects you. Borderline Personality Disorder can be mild, moderate or severe like any condition although the depressive side of it can be an intense dysphoria.

A psychiatric assessment is probably the way to go, to officially decide whether it has disabled you or not.

Prozac will not make you test positive for Benzos in any way. They are a completely different class of drugs known as SSRI's or anti-depressants which are meant as a mood lifter or stabilizer. Benzos of the other hand such as Valium, Xanax, or Ativan which I take work on different chemicals entirely to calm a person with anxiety issues and the like. Prozac works on the chemical in the brain known as seratonin, both can be tested for in the blood but certainly should not be mistaken for the other.

Since the Slim Quick brand of weight loss medication hasn't been approved by the FDA (food and drug administration) it would be wise to talk to your doctor about interacting Slim Quick with any other medication.

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.
