General : General rule: any medication can cause any side effect. All of the problems you mention might be caused by Prozac (fluoxetine). But keep in mind that any or all of them might be due to other causes. The best way to address this is in a discussion with your physician, who will help you look at the onset and course of the problems, and examine them in the context of your overall healthcare needs.

Possibly: I agree with dr. Wynn. I will add that it may also depend on how long you've been on this medicine. If it is a med that you recently started, then these side effects can be common. Often times the side effects can lessen or go away with time.
