I've been on prozac (fluoxetine) for 8 weeks. i had a bad headache that ended after a couple days. the past 3 weeks i've had a sinus headache. could it be prozac (fluoxetine)?

Yes, or it could be: a separate condition(s). An EENT MD can quickly figure out if you have sinus conditions and if they caused your headaches. If so, treat that first. But, SSRI's are known to cause lots of side effects, including the ones you have. If nothing else pans, go to your prescribing MD (for the Prozac) and ask if another med might do. Don't necessarily stop on your own first, unless too uncomfort
