A member asked:

Can prozac (fluoxetine) effect periods. i started prozac (fluoxetine) 6/25 and should have had a period for july. i've been having headaches and anxiety. not sexually active. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prozac (fluoxetine) and periods: Fluoxetine can affect menstruation patterns. Fluoxetine takes about 6 weeks to fully achieve positive effects. Anxiety and headaches are side effects. Talk to your doctor if you are unable to tolerate these side effects. Do not stop fluoxetine abruptly as these side effects can worsen.
