A member asked:

I just started prozac (fluoxetine) (10mg) half dose for my first 2 weeks. i've noticed my right eye only is opening halfway is this related to prozac (fluoxetine) in anyway?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UNLIKELY: I'VE BEEN PRESCRIBING PROZAC (fluoxetine) FOR 40 YEARS AND THIS IS A SIDE EFFECT I'VE NEVER RUN INTO. IT MAY POSSIBLY BE THE PROZAC (fluoxetine), BUT PROBABLY NOT. BE SURE BY STOPPING THE PROZAC (fluoxetine) (IT WILL BE OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM IN ABOUT A MONTH). OTHERWISE A NEUROLOGICAL CONSULT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
