23rd Prozac Update - Feeling Poor

May 17, 2026··

taper update

Feeling poor. Been having bouts of fatigue. I suspect Prozac might be giving me inflammation of the upper gastrointestinal tract or some kind of its upset.

Prozac — 40 mg — 4 months — tapering | Zyprexa — 20 mg — 5 years — holding | Depakote — 1000 mg — 4 months — holding | Buspirone — 20 mg — 4 months — holding | with clinician
