Contact doctor: You should contact the doctor who prescribed the medication. It has many side effects and your doctor needs to discuss the risk/benefit ratio with you. Are taking both prozac (fluoxetine) and amytriptiline? Do tell your doctor. You may consult this site for more information on this drug. http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-6997/prozac (fluoxetine)-oral/details#side-effects
