Can Prozac cause diarrhea? :(
Posted , 2 users are following.
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.

hope you feel better! When you say its happened to you, do you mean its happened when you dont take the pill for a day? Or it just happens in general? Do you think if i take a lower dose it will stop?
