Potential Side Effects and How to Manage Them

Experience nausea? Try taking Prozac with food. This often helps minimize stomach upset.

Feeling drowsy? Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Prozac affects you. Consider taking it at bedtime.

    Weight changes: Monitor your weight regularly. Talk to your doctor about dietary adjustments or increased physical activity if needed. Small, frequent meals might help. Sexual side effects: These are common. Discuss these issues openly with your doctor; there may be solutions or alternative medications. Anxiety or insomnia: These can occur, particularly initially. Your doctor can adjust your dosage or prescribe additional medication for temporary relief. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is also key.

If you experience any unusual bleeding or bruising, contact your doctor immediately.

Report any persistent or severe side effects to your doctor without delay. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding dosage and timing. Maintain open communication with your healthcare provider about your experience.

Remember, side effects vary among individuals. This information provides general guidance. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
