Prozac medication is one treatment for depression and other mental disorders like mania. However, for some inexplicable reason, the drug also increases the incidents of suicidal thoughts and actions. The dangerous side effect is even more pronounced in younger children and teens. It is also known to adversely interact with other prescription and over the counter meds. Therefore, your doctor needs to know everything you take, before prescribing the medication. If certain drugs are not compatible, other treatment options will have to be considered. In addition, if you need to come off of the medication, for any reason, you will need to consult your doctor to help you slowly reduce the dose to nothing. The side effects of getting off Prozac medication can be as harsh as the side effects of continuing to take the drug.
