 Posted: 09/01/05 - 02:00 Post subject: prozac sweating eye problems |
  |
|
Hello!
I was prescribed with prozac for my depression stages... Ok, depression is not case of discussion now...
I noticed some shivering and sweating when I ran out of prozac and didn’t get it immediately. Besides sweating, also problems with eyes. Is this normal or is this something else that i should pay more attention too?

I think this is normal reaction when person suddenly stops taking prozac. It is also writen on labeling. You shouldn’t do that again, I mean suddently stop taking prozac. If you are planning to stop on prozac, you should ask your health provider to slowly decrease the dose. That should help you decrease the chance of having symptoms such as sweating and eye problems. These are minor problems when stopping on prozac suddenly, more serious are agitation, problems with breathing, chest pain, diarrhea, dizziness etc.

| Does your prozac make you not hungry?I'm on Zoloft and I have constant headaches and no sex drive at all!! So... I am wanting to switch to prozac? Are the side effects sexuall or appetite decreased? |

Both of these drugs, Prozac and Zoloft belong to the same groups of antidepressants. They are called serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors aka SSRI’s. They have the same mechanism but each and one of them is slightly different. Prozac came first and it seems to be the least harsh. Every next drug that was placed on the market, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, is a bit stronger and has more severe side effects.
Every new drug seems to block additional receptors and makes the side effects more severe.
I was on both Zoloft and Prozac and I kept a diary about my every day, so I could analyze my mood. It is just something that I do. And I can say that you are right about Prozac when compared to Zoloft.
There was bigger loss of appetite when I was on Prozac and less diminished libido, but I had headaches that I had to put up with and was incredibly nervous while I wasn’t nervous at all while on Zoloft.
I would say that Zoloft is much stronger regarding side effects. Both of the drugs worked though on depression. |
