A member asked:

Can prozac (fluoxetine) cause nerve damage to the legs which causes a little swelling?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not Prozac (fluoxetine): Have your doctor evaluate why you have "nerve damage" and "swelling". Prozac (fluoxetine) has many bad effects, and I do NOT use it in my practice, but your issues seem secondary to another cause.
