Accepted Answer

See your doctor: It is best to see your doctor for advice in going off a medicine that may be causing a side effect and taking another. In addition medication may be recommended to relieve itching and rash.

Question 6

is there tapering off procedure when stopping 6 mg of prozac (fluoxetine) in children if he took it for 3 weeks only. any withdrawal symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Usually: Usually SSRI anti-depressant meds such as Prozac (fluoxetine) should be tapered gradually unless there are severe side effects. Stopping suddenly may cause an increase in anxiety, depression, and other sx. Talk with your doctor about the exact timing of the tapering.

Question 7

which ssri is best to treat anxiety/ocd in children.i heard prozac (fluoxetine) can  increase it at first. is it best choice for anxoius but not depressed but kids?

Accepted Answer

It's important for : any child or teen treated with an SSRI to have regular Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Sessions because studies show an increase in suicidal ideation.  Anxiety &amp; depression may co-exist on a continuum. Zoloft (sertraline) has a shorter half-life than Prozac, so I've found it easier to manage side effects, which may show up ~ 6 days after starting treatment. Child Psychiatrists may have had a different experience.

Question 8

is prozac a safe antidepressant?

Accepted Answer

Many side effects: Prozac is an SSRI antidepressant which has many potentially serious side effects including: hives, itching, or skin rash, inability to sit still, restlessness, chills or fever, joint or muscle pain, anxiety, confusion &amp; mood swings. I therefore suggest natural interventions for mental health care, which includes a healthy lifestyle &amp; good nutrition. Best of luck with your mental health!

Question 9

can prozac (fluoxetine) make a person feel agitated?

Accepted Answer

Prozac (fluoxetine): Like most antidepressants, yes, if u r predisposed such as having manic depression or organic mood disorder. Review with your doc.

Question 10

does a high dose of prozac make nexplanon less effective?

Accepted Answer

SSRI med ?'s: Prozac ( an SSRI) has not been documented on having an effect on the Nexplanon implant (a progestin) regarding diminished contraception.  There are several antidepressive agents in the SSRI category which have much shorter half-lives, and are more easily discontinued.
