Prozac Forums (Page 7)

I've been on 20 mg for about 2 months now and was doing somewhat okay, but now have a lot of stress at work and i feel like I'm slipping backwards. I'm irritable and agitated more often again. I need to see my doctor for a follow up this week, should I ask her for an increase in mg? I really don't want to try another drug because Prozac is the safest and I don't want to feel like a zombie since I work in acting. I think i need more mg since 20 mg was working for awhile. Any suggestions will be helpful. ## An increase in the dosage may be your best bet and it is usually something you can do temporarily, until the stress eases off and then go back down to your regular dosage. A dosage increase will probably also increase the side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, h...

this needs to fit over prozac 20 mg for safe swallowing by a patient with an active gag reflex. if the proxac isn't covered and opens enroute, she burn her vocal chords. ## NEEDED - A CLEAR CAPSULE TO FIT OVER A PROZAC 20 mg AND PREVENT IT FROM OPENING DURING SWALLOWING ## I'm sorry, this site does not manufacture nor sell any products. this is an information only website. Have you tried speaking to her doctor or pharmacist for alternatives? Prozac is available in 20mg capsules, so her doctor may need to specifically write the prescription that way, or you may have to request them from the pharmacy, instead of tablets.

Just how prevelent is fatigue and weight gain a side effect of prozac? Because both of these are totally unacceptable and I would not take Prozac if I could expect to experience either one. ## They can be side effects, however, not all people experience them. The only way to find out is to try it. You cannot go by what happens to other people. ## I found both of these to effects to be quite the OPPOSITE!!!!!!! ## Been taking prozac for a little more than a year for dep.anx.ocd. It got to the point of not being able to do anything.i was scared to take any kind of medication .but got to the point that i had to ,i couldent even eat without thinking i was choking! prozac fixed all that. but at a cost.my feelings are just about gone.my moral compass is out of wack things i would never have d...

Are you having a hard time feeling good about yourself? Do you experience a loss of interest and enjoyment in life and have a tendency to isolate yourself? Is it hard for you to focus or concentrate on a task or an activity? Do you have feelings of guilt and unworthiness? How about having a hard time sleeping or the opposite, are you sleeping much but still feeling tired? Do you find yourself over eating or under eating? Do you have minimal energy or sexual drive? Do you have difficulty making decisions because you often feel a sense of helplessness, and hopelessness about your life and your future in general? Do you think about hurting yourself? If you've answered yes to most of the questions above, then you are probably suffering from depression. But don't be alarmed! You are ...

white with green stripe on one side and an gray stripe on one side with the number GG550 on it ## What it may look like is a very open ended question, once a pill is available for generic manufacture, there are tons of companies that make them and each pill or capsule will look different, depending on what the company wants it too look like, even the imprint within a company will differ according to the dosage. Now, as to your capsule, (and thanks for providing the description and imprint, it makes it much easier to confirm for you!) this is indeed a generic for Prozac. Fluoxetine 20mgs. Here's an image to confirm: Pill Image Many people do not provide the imprint because they think all pills with the same ingredient look the same, but as I said, that is not the case, that is why I ...
