People may experience minor side effects of the weekly dosages of Prozac medicine. These after-effects may range from unusual nausea, dizziness, loss of appetite, abrupt weight loss, and disturbed sleeping pattern. These signs may result into high levels of fatigue, premature exhaustion, and tiredness. However, a specialist would ideally never suggest stopping the dosage of the medicine after experiencing these tolerable side effects.
This is essentially so as the scope of the benefits of the drug is much more than the risk of these minor side effects. However, in case a person develops serious side effects of the drug in form of abrupt mood swings, uncontrolled movements, particularly of tongue, lips or finger, it is essential to stop the dosage right away and consult a specialist. Some other side effects that demand immediate medical assistance are abnormal shaking of the body, unexplained restlessness, numbing sensation, blurred vision, and disinterest in sexual endeavors.
The weekly dosage of the medicine, in rare cases, also leads to a severe condition called serotonin syndrome. The risk for this severe condition increases when Prozac weekly is taken in combination with the pain killers intended to treat migraine headaches and other anti-depressants.
