A member asked:

I've taken prozac (fluoxetine) before and never had any side effect from it and later stoped it. i just started back up on it a lil while ago and have been feeling?

Guessing...: You didn't complete your question, but if you're having a possible side effect on Prozac (fluoxetine) now, discuss with prescribing doctor. Dose change, other meds you may be taking, generic from a different company are some factors that may cause side effects where previously you had none. I hope this helps.
