Question 1

can prozac, hydtoxyzine or prednisolone cause one pupil to be bigger than the other?

Accepted Answer

: A rare side effect of Prozac is mydriasis (dilated pupil) and one pupil may be affected than the other (anisocoria) and I assume it could happen in your case.

Question 2

is it true that i should wait until i've tapered off of prednisolone and flouxitine before have my eyesight tested?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The water content of the eyeball changes with the pred dose.  If you get a new prescription for glasses or contacts it is guaranteed to change.

Question 3

can i take prozac (fluoxetine) with a.c.e. diet pills?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no problem taking any ssri antidepressant with the diet pills. These appear to contain caffeine and cocoa, which can increase anxiety. But they do not react with medicines like prozac (fluoxetine). If you take Prozac (fluoxetine) for anxiety, though, be aware of the amount of caffeine you use.

Question 4

stopped taking prozac (fluoxetine) 5 weeks ago is it safe to now take sam-e?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is: If off Prozac (fluoxetine) for a whole month, it would  be safe to try sam-e.  However, i'd still suggest working with a psychiatrist while doing so, since sam-e does not have the same kind of track record of effectiveness behind it as antidepressants do.  Also, psychotherapy is a big part of the treatment of anxiety and depression.  Ideally, you want an integrative psychiatrist who's familiar w/sam-e.

Question 5

took 10mg of prozac (fluoxetine) for 9 days been off it for 3 days..can i now take sam e?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Prozac (fluoxetine)'s half life is 7 days. After 3 days off durg, your Prozac (fluoxetine) level in the blood is still close to plateau for 10mg prazac.

Question 6

can i breastfeed while i take fluoxetine?

Accepted Answer

No: It has not been studied adequately. It is listed as "safety unknown; caution advised".

Question 7

is it safe to take maca root with fluoxetine?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: I cannot find any research suggesting any potential interactions between lepidium meyenii (Maca) and fluoxetine or any other medications. Its pharmacology is largely unknown (if there's any true pharmacological activity at all), so it's uncertain if any interaction would exist.

Question 8

is it safe to take inositol while on fluoxetine?

Accepted Answer

Most likely yes: I could find no reports of any interactions.  However, you should inform your prescriber that you are taking alternative/complementary substances like inositol.

Question 9

can i take take percocet  and prozac (fluoxetine)?

Accepted Answer

NO interaction, but: There is no significant interaction between the two medicines, but unexpected reaction can occur with any drug either use as a single therapy or in combination. Follow your doctor's recommendation and use the smallest effective dose for the shortest time possible/needed. Inform your doc if you take any other meds or herbal supplements. Good luck.

Question 10

can you take tramadol while on prozac (fluoxetine)?

Accepted Answer

Tramadol &prozac: No you can not take them together as it can cause serotonin syndrome which is serious and potentialy fatal due to hyper stimulation of 5 ht1a recepters.
