Prozac (fluoxetine) side effects: Common side effects with Prozac (fluoxetine) may be nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, dizziness, sweating, anxiety, insomnia, and changes in libido. Some also notice difficulty coming to sexual climax. Many of these may dissipate with time, but the sexual issues may persist. Talk with your doctor if any of these are happening with you.

Ask your doc!: !st things 1st. Always ask your prescribing doc & your pharmacist about side effects & interactions before starting/taking medication. For info regarding any drug, check out online.Epocrates.Com & drugs.Com. Fluoxetine is an ssri, all of which can lead to some degree of anorgasmia, thus actually increasing sexual stamina in the sense of delaying premature ejaculation. Ssris can also decr libido.
