Can Prozac Be Taken While On Pain Medication?
I have terrible lower back pain. I took 1/3 of 10 mg. norco at noon today and another 1/3 at 5pm. Had 3 beers, and developed acute respiratory stress over the last 4 1/2 hours. While it s getting easier to breathe, should I take a prozac? Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, don't take any drug combination without doctor’s advice. Prozac i.e., Fluoxetine oral will increase the level of serotonin and combination will increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Whenever you visit take all your prescription to the doctor and then take advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
