I'm on Prozac, have been for 4-5 days now. I had the basic side effects, worn out, just tired and feeling overall just drained. But last night I got some random nausea, and even today (Only after I eat) What should I do?? I need to eat food with Prozac but food makes me feel sick. Suggestions?

    Hi Snaggletooth nausea is a common side effect of Prozac and can last for weeks. I lost a lot of weight while my body adjusted to prozac and it can be a rough journey. Try to eat as you can I know it is hard to eat when you feel ill and have no appettie but don't worry too much it will eventually settle but it is not a fast process.
