Question:

Since starting prozac 2 weeks ago, 20 mg 1x a day, I have been experiencing TERRIBLE back and neck pain. Could this be a side effect? Will it go away?

Answer:

Prozac is a brand of the drug fluoxetine. Fluoxetine does not cause back and neck pain. Please call your doctor about the symptoms you are having.
