Does anyone get extremely bad heartburn with prozac where it burns so bad in your throat?

lennon; As side effects listed with prozac that you might want to talk with the doctor about is. BLOATING, CONTINUE VOMITING, Abdominal or stomach pain AND Diarrhea which that last one is not helping with your problem with the Metformin I would check with the doctor about these you might have to try something else you could try Ginger ale drink and soda crackers and see if that helps but all of this should be brough to the doctors attention.

lennonnn; What I am thinking it could be the prozac causing the diarrhea and not the Metformin. But I don't want you to continue with vomiting and diarrhea ect every day this could lead to more problems like dehydration etc. and keep an eye on your blood sugar again. your friend Chuck.1957 Maybe go to the pharmacy and talk with the pharmacist and get some loperamide see if that well help try it prior to your trip. Also if the crackers and ginger does not help get an Antacid like tums but don't take them for at least an hour after your medication. Best of luck. See what your Pharmacist says and when you get back see your doctor. Chuck.

Lennon' The Prozac is still worth checking out, Your system changes to ask what your doctor thinks it could even be the comb. of both drugs between the two it could be causing more side effects. Worth checking into no reason to suffer with side effects that could be controlled. But your body and system does change as we get older too. Just something to think about.

I know this is an old post, hopefully it will help others. Yes I get horrible heartburn from this medication to the point it feels like an alien is trying to burst out of my chest. The thing that helps me is definitely eating something before taking it. I would suggest eating something twenty minutes before taking it, if I do get heart burn it is something I can take an antacid for after eating something.

Been on it for many years and this has never been an issue for me, although I think it controls my appetite a bit. Not a bad thing given that I am a recently diagnosed diabetic.

Yes! They recently change my prozac(fluoxidine) to a blue capsule it used to be white. Ever since it has giving really bad heartburn!

Yes! I have to take it with a lot of water initially or food. Otherwise I have to sit and sip baking soda and water because nothing else works. The tablets don't do that to me but, I really have a problem with the capsules.

Certain kinds of generic Prozac give me SUCH bad heartburn. It feels like it’s doing damage to my esophagus. I know it’s the Prozac because it is right after I take it. My pharmacy just switched to that generic again. (I switched from Walmart Rx to Walgreens. That helped until Walgreens switched... )

Yes, very recently I switched pharmacies and the genetic they filled for me is a different generic than what I had been receiving. When I take this new generic 40mg fluxitine Blue oblong capsule A107. I have what feels like very intense acid reflux, burning in throat and stomach. I took 4 tums and drank a full glass of milk and had 0% relief. It does go away after a few hours. I’m gonna switch back to the brand Prozac or request a different generic and see if that helps. Good luck

Currently in extreme pain for the second night in a row (like a 9) - just started the fluoxetine 20mg 6 days ago. Would like to hear if any of you found that a different brand helped.

Yep. Same here. Burning my throat all night and nauseous the next day. On the phone with my pharmacy now to get it switched. Glad to see I’m not the only one experiencing this!

I get the same issue with my 40mg capsule if fluoxetine. It doesn’t happen every time, but when it does it is so severe that I want to go to the hospital.

The capsule form affects me the same way. I switched to the tablets form and no more heartburn. I read somewhere that sometimes the ingredients react with the actual capsule causing these problems.

Yes both heartburn and acid reflux!! Are you still taking Prozac?
