Prozac Medication

I'm not sure if doctor's read this website but until they realize that these drug manufacturers can't be trusted, they will not be able to help their patients. My mom who has Alzheimer's is able to react to changes in different brands of the same meds she's been on. Her caregivers notice and let us know. It's a real shame that the FDA allows such a drastic range in what they are able to put into these generic drugs. Shame, shame on them. We need to protect ourselves against the generic drugs sitting right in our local drug stores. You don't need to be on street drugs to be harmed by bad drugs, they are right at your local pharmacies. Don't let your pharmacist lie to you, they're in it for the money.

Hello, Sarah! I am very sorry about what happened to your mother. How is she doing, now? What types of problems did she experience?

The FDA does allow generic medications to differ from the name brand by as much as plus, or minus 20% of the active ingredient, an amount they consider to be therapeutically insignificant. Most people don't experience any issues with minor fluctuations, but some people do, especially if they are sensitive to any change in their medication regimen.

The typical side effects of Prozac/Fluoxetine may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood changes, weight loss, and headache.

Francesca, tremors is listed as being a possible side effect of this medication, though tremors, and seizures are not always the same thing. How is she doing now?
