Question about my Prozac

[Waiting4myprincess]

Hi everyone. I was recently prescribed Prozac 20 mg by my doctor this past Monday. I have been battling severe depression ever since my daughter was born 6 months ago and finally broke down and saw my doctor. The question I have is....how high of a strength is what they gave me? How long until I start feeling better? And are there any side effects that I should be concerned about? Please help. I can't wait to start feeling like "myself" again.

Thanks,
Danielle

Hi, I'm not really sure if this helps but I used to be on a maintenance dose of Prozac at 60mg.  As for drug interactions, I really couldn't say.  You might want to try googling the drugs to get their websites and check for drug interactions there.  I know when I was on Prozac I did take a lot of different meds without any problems though I'm not sure about the rest.  Hope this helps a little bit.

One more thing....I also am taking roughing 30mg of Vicoden a day and 600mg's of Neurontin a day for severe back pain. Would this interact with my Prozac?? Could it have a bad interaction with each other?? I would assume not since my doctor put me on them all, but you never know. Doctors have been known to be wrong before. :) They are human like the rest of us.
