Hi, so I am embarrassed to ask but this has been an issue since March and I feel like Prozac might be causing it…
I’ve been taking Prozac for 2 years, started when I was 19, I’ve been on and off of it, my dosage upped to 60 mg as of March. I am 5’2 and 107 pounds if that gives any info about this situation, so since quarantine I’ve been staying in, I believe my dosage was upped on March 18th before spring break, well after that date a about 2-3 times a month I’ve been getting bad diarrhea, and I’m really confused because I have NEVER had stomach issues in the past, no problem with food or anything regarding that matter.
I thought this was a new PMS symptom for me, but I started getting it on days that were t close to my period. The only possible thing I can think of that may be causing this is me skipping doses of my Prozac?? I’ve never had this problem whenever I skipped taking my Prozac for the day before but could the high dose be what’s causing this problem? The last time this happened I remembered I didn’t take my Prozac the night before and it’s possible I didn’t on the other days too but I’m not 100% certain.
Does anyone else have this problem and is there anything I can do to fix it? I finally am at a dose that works and if this issue is from the Prozac I don’t think I want to continue taking it… thanks in advance.
