Can Changing From Pozac To 5htp Be Better As The Latter Is Causing Hot Flashes, Sweating And Itching?
I have been having some side effects with Prozac. After taking it I start to get hot flashes, sweating and all, and I also start to itch. I have taken it for quite a while now, several years, but seem to have just developed theses symptoms. I was wondering if changing to 5htp would be better.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
In my opinion you have to continue the Pozac no need to change the new drug because you are taking this drug since log time and now you are experiencing some symptom that may not be due to the Pozac but could be functional one and this would be the same with the changing of drug, hope this information helps you have nice day.
