Your symptoms are suggestive of ulcerations or inflammation of oral mucosa of tongue and palate. Prozac is a antidepressant drug and will not help in resolving the problem. Recurrent trauma to the tongue may lead to formation of ulcers or It may be caused due to several reasons like deficiency or certain vitamins especially vitamin B12 and vitamin C. start with multivitamin supplements for 7 to 10 days and vitamin C lozenges will help in resolving the problem. avoid alcohol , carbonated drinks , tobacco chewing and smoking as these may worsen the area affected.
