I recently switched from Lexapro to Prozac due to weight gain and have been on it 1 week today. Did anyone experience tingly in face or whole body and slightly dizzy?
Prozac side effects and concerns?

Hi, Karina!
These are common side effects of Prozac and other antidepressants. The tingling is probably what's called paresthesia which is a tingling, burning, or itching sensation.
"Very common (10% or more of users): Dizziness (up to 11%)"
"Common (1% to 10% of users): Paresthesia/sensory disturbances"
Side effects like these generally subside over days to a week or two so you should be getting some relief quickly now. But if they persist longer let your doctor know.
