Unlikely: You need a full exam and eval for cause of constipation and stomach pains. Constipation is a very uncommon side effect of Prozac (fluoxetine) and Valium. Follow up with recommendations of ER doc and keep your pcp informed, if not see him/her as well. I hope this helps and you feel better.
