Can Extensive Use Of Prozac Cause Side Effects Like High Blood Pressure And Headaches?

my sister has had 0 serotonin for year and the doctor has had her on Prozac for years 40mg 4 times a day.
now she can't remember a thing and had to take off work, has high blood pressure and gets very bad headaches, and can't control her bladder. my husband said it is way to much Prozac. what can she do for her serotonin? isn't it dangerous with that much Prozac?
thank you cindy paradise

Hi.Thanks for writing on HCM.
Prozac may cause nausea, headaches, anxiety, insomnia(forgetfulness), drowsiness, and loss of appetite.Prozac can also increase the blood pressure levels but this can be essentially due to her age also.Hope this answers your question.
