Can midol be taken with prozac?

Yes, you can. Everyone seems to totally freak out about taking other medications when you're on Prozac, but in reality, no over the counter medications apart from St John's wort are likely to interact with it.

I took Prozac in 1994 for depression.\nIt took about 4 weeks to take full effect, but when it did, I lost 40 lbs. in 3 months!!!\nI really felt like exercising and keeping my life very active every day! \nI didn't eat much; the medication took my appetite away.\nI felt very happy and energetic!\nI saw things in life very vivid and optimistic.\nI wish that I could have stayed on Prozac, but when I had lost all of that weight, my brain and body started to work overload.  I found out, after a manic episode, that I really had Bipolar Disorder!!!  \nWow.\nI would highly recommend Prozac, however, for depression.  It really took my blues away and then some.\nGood luck.  Be patient.

Please call your doctor tomorrow and tell the person who answers the phone that prozac gives you nightmares.\n\nDO NOT JUST SUFFER THROUGH THIS.  Take action.  Please.

No, antidepressants aren't something to tango with.\n\nWhile you feel that you can just stop taking them, talk to your doctor. You need to let your psychologist prescribe lesser amounts. \n\nLike with any medication given to you, especially long-term medicines, you need to talk to your doctor before quitting. The withdrawal from an antidepressant could be worse than you imagined. \n \nMake an appointment for next week.

Look for Zoloft or Paxil. They are second generation SSRI's just like Prozac.

You can take the St. John's Wort but just mention it to your doctor first.  If you are taking any antidepressants already, there may be an interaction beteen the, and the Wort do don't take them both together. Good luck...

ABSOLUTELY!\nIt raises serotonin, and in some people (like myself) it causes "Serotonin Syndrome" -- making you feel more depressed and totally soggy.  Any of the SSRI's can do this: Prozac, Effexor, Paxil, Zoloft are all in this class.\n\nAfter 3 years of sleeping my life away -- because I was presumably depressed and the doctor kept increaing my dosage of Effexor or Prozac -- a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner had the sense to take me off that drug...and suddenly I was no longer tired! \n\nGood for you for investigating.\n\nLove & Light!

YOU Bet it does! Been there, Done that!\n\nMax dose for Zoloft is 200mg daily. If that don't work, try another antidepressant.\n\nKeep trying until you get the RIGHT RX for YOU. \n\nIf you have Bi-Polar/Manic Depression, YOU need to have a Mood Stabiliser added; Lithium, Depakote, Tegritol, Neurontin.\n\nCHECK out the Benefits AND Side Effects for all meds. \n\nThen make your choice.\n\nGood Luck!

Over the years I have taken Prozac; within several weeks(long enough for it to kick in my body) I developed that problem you mentions.\nMore recently I was given Paxil; and yes the same thing happened.So there is a good chance that all the meds in this class does that.But they do help with anxiety and such very well.Also it MIGHT go away as your body gets used to having the drug in your system;how long I dunno,I'm sorry to say.I could say more on the topic but I think you get the picture.....bye..

Yep - I've got it too.\n\nI used to take Effexor, but it killed my libido and the withdrawal effects are super-awful (I now kind of understand drug addiction - vomiting, dizziness, the whole she-bang) I took a lot, though, 150mg so that didn't help.  The med helped the anxiety a ton, though. So much that I thought I was better and decided to wean myself (bad idea - don't do it - you will be sorry 3 months later and have to spend another 3 months getting something new into your system)\n\nI am now starting Prozac.  So far the only bad side effect is I can't take it before bed or I don't sleep well.  It is too soon to tell if it is working - so it isn't helping much yet.  Hopefully soon.  \n\nGood luck.  Go to a psychiatrist - they can prescribe meds and have much more background than a family physician so they will have experience with lots of meds.

I'm on  prescribed Wellbutrin , Depakote ,Clonazepam.and Fluoxetine.   Paxil was ineffective.  Prosac (fluoxetine)  tend to make me gain weight. like most antidepressants do..  One of the side effects of Prosac is suicidal tendencies.  Lithium and Wellbutrin so far are  the drugs of choice.  .  There 's a new drug in the market.  Abilify.

Scientifically speaking it takes 2-4 weeks.  You have to change your thought processes, too, though.  You need to believe in yourself and find ways within yourself to fight negative thoughts.  Find a higher power to believe in and provide a source of hope.  Also, remember not to drink alcohol while on prozac and look at the other drugs interactions listed with your prescription, as well.

Prozac is a brand name drug.  It's gonna cost you about 80 bucks a month.  I would ask your doctor if he could prescribe you the generic version of Prozac, and if there is none, could he consider a generic version of a similar drug.  I myself am on the generic version of Paxil, and with my insurance, only pay $4.71 a month.
