See your physician: Call 911 and/or go to the er, if you have other symptoms like difficulties breathing, swelling of the tongue and closing of the throat. See your physician. Numbness of the tongue and a sensation of tightening of the gums are onot normal. Also, discuss the Prozac (fluoxetine) with your md.
