Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Been Stressed, Swollen Stomach, Hands And Thighs, Uptight Feeling, Ruled Out Heart Issues. On Prozac. Need More Rest?
I have a very swollen stomach hands and tighs, feel very uptight. just off 1 x 20mg Prozac a day. Just out of a very stressfull business time nad have a family problem. 3 wks ago was taken to hospital by ambulance, doc though it was heart but that checked out ok, all blood tests ok . sleeping up to 8 hrs at night yet need to rest most days after lunch,am quiet fit active weight normal age 57
In my opinion, prozac need to be taken for a longer period. I do not know how long did you take prozac
Additionally, some kind of family therapy / problem solving strategy, which will address the family issues and business issues, need to be added for complete recovery. Or else, alone prozac wo not be sufficient. For this you need to be in touch with a psychotherapist / psychiatrist
The symptoms that you are mentioning are quite understandable in the context of stress
