I only started back on dec 15th or around there an i am takeing the light blue capsules. Im only taking 20mg atm not sure if they will up me or not but i havent had a prob with it yet.
When did you start and how many mg are u taking? Are you on the capsules? blue? I call it the medicine from hell my heart still fultters i worrry about permanant damage. I was only on it a week.
I was jus put on Fluoxetine an so far i havent noticed any side effects other then on new years eve when i had a small drink i felt alil sick but it went away after 20 mins havent had anything sense.
Medications do affect people in different ways. While some can be good for others, it may not work that well with you. I am glad that you took control and talked to your doctor and are back on something you are comfortable with...keep us posted!
I went off it yesterday. My heart was fluttering and I just felt numb and tingly. Im back on the paxil now that i know works and i can sleep and no side effects. thanks for your reply.

Fluoxetine is generic Prozac. I've been on it a few times, and I'm back on it again. It will take 4-6 weeks before you begin to feel a difference (sometimes sooner). But it will happen. The only side effect I've ever had from it was insomnia, but that always goes away in a few weeks, so give it some time. As far as alcohol goes, you don't say how much you drank, but I have had a couple of beers now and then on fluoxetine without any problems. I think you might just want to make sure you don't overdo it is all. What you're experiencing right now is probably just side effects from the drug. Give it a couple more weeks and I bet you'll be feeling much better.
