Prozac

On August 24, 2010, I fainted while driving from the side effects of Prozac which my doctor had prescribed for Premenstrual syndrome. The Prozac was causing me to feel dizzy and weak after 3 or 4 doses only. I was taken to the hospital and released the same day, but bills totaled upwards of $2,000, including the towing of my car.

I would like to send my medical records and bills which I am still paying to Eli Lilly for financial help. I work as a nurse practitioner with one of the top medical centers in the nation; I have an awareness of the history of the drug's dangerous side effects and would now question the validity of this drug as an effective antidepressant.

my normal precription on file is 40 mg of prozac. however the doctor faxed the wrong dosage to the pharmacist to giv me 40 mg capsules before meals and bedtime wich brouhgt me to 160 mg daily wich was way ti high. I am on a 72 hour hold for the secon time for sucide watch due to advers reaction to the wrong dosage. the pychiatrist i sww stted to stop the medicine all toghte since my body has been poisioned. I am at stanford psyciastric unit to get some help woth killing my sel and jumping out the car etc. pleae help or refer me to some one who can help me. this has wreck my whole job career at google and my family life. kids are so distraught from this and I dont know when i will be going home as of now. memory loss, slow reflexes, loss of employment, car wrecked and driving on the wrong side of the road, kids were rightened for their lives

I was prescribed Prozac 12 years ago for mild depression and was told it would NOT be addictive. I have tried twice stop taking it but was unable to because the withdrawal symptoms were so severe. It is not a drug to take unless if people are fully aware of how difficult it is to stop using and frankly not worth it.

My personality changed dramatically and my life was altered. I am just now tapering off VERY SLOWLY and giving myself 10 weeks before stopping Prozac. It is like an amphetamine and NOT affective in treating depression.

I need to have cosmetic dental work to repair my teeth--and to pay for further dental work as I age. It is humiliating to have these deteriorating teeth as well as be partially bald. Please help--I searched for class action suits on the internet for this drug--but have only found those relating to suicidal feeling, not horrible side effects like this.

I would like to file an Anti-Depressant Injury Lawsuit against the Eli Lilly company regarding Prozac.

Complaint is that I am seeking damages due to the following:

1). Increased suicidal episodes

2). Loss of sexual interest and drive with husband

3). Prozac has caused me to experience more violent behavior especially if medicine is missed.

4). Excessive weight gain of 100 lbs over an 18 year span.

5). Lost wages from being unable to function at work which led to my being terminated from several jobs.

6). Damage to ankle after suicide attempt in November 1988. (Jumped from a three-story window fractured fibulla and tibia).

7). Increased depression condition is worst than was in the past.

Currently experiencing extreme withdrawal symptoms such as: daily headaches, nausea, hallucinations, crying spells, increased sweating, and difficulty concentrating.

As a result of the continuous use of Prozac, I fear that my behavior will only get worst and may lead to my committing suicide. All of my family, friends and former employers can attest to the fact that I have had several suicidal thoughts over the years. In addition, I have been court committed on more than three occassions.

On an economical standpoint, my credit has been severely damaged due to my inability to attain and/or maintain gainful employment. Despite all of these problems my Dr. Robert Mayer, refused to treat me for my depression on July 17, 2006; as I didn't have my co-pay. Therefore, I have stopped taking the Prozac and hope to cure myself without the use of any additional medications.
