Feel Constant Deja Vu, Taking Prozac, Drinking Water Eased The Intensity Feeling. Is It Temporary Lobe?

I am on prozac , 4 * 20 (mg???) pills a day, I usually have no more than 1 beer a day. Last Thursday, I had 3 glasses of wine, I started to feel constant deja vu - everything thing I heard I was sure that I heard before. This continued for about 48 hours. I would swear that everything I heard, I had heard before. I heard radio commedians that I never heard before, sure that I had heard Woddy Allen or Bill Cosby doing the same stuff. Drinking water eased the intensity of the feelings, as did sleep. After 48 hours, the symptoms mostly went away. I remain scared and mystified.I will seek medical attention monday. I wonder if I have had a temporal lobe TIA or something of that nature. (I am 52 years old and read a lot about brain mechanics.) Do these symptoms seem familiar to anyone?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand your concern. Feeling of constant deja vu is a sign of a psychotic disorder and if you are taking prozac you might want to bring this up with your doctor so as to get the other medications you need to help with your deja vu feeling. I also think that you must do so as soon as you can and visit with a psychiatrist. I also believe that it is not a case of temporal lobe TIA, but a psychiatric condition.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
