For What Is Prozac And Warfarin Prescribed?
I have been on a high dose of suboxone for 4 years- I have changed doctors about a year ago and per my request have asked to do a slow taper off of this medication because I am ready to be done with it. The taper has been going great over the last 4-5 months. I brought the concern up to my Dr. That I feel angry all of the time and I have a hard time sleeping. (I do have a stressful job that causes me to travel from coast to coast, change time zones and be away from my family- my doctor is aware of this and has been working with me .) She recently prescribed Horizant for me saying that it would help with the irritability...... But after reading up on the medication it seems that it is primarily prescribed for RLS..... This confuses me. I am currently taking Prozac 40mgs per day, warfarin 5mgs per day, suboxone 6mg in the am, 4mg in the afternoon and 4mg in the evening. As I stated the taper is going well but I have not complained of RLS.... Are there other symptoms that this is prescribed for?

Hi,
I do understand your pain and discomfort. Prozac contains [Fluoxetine] and it is used for major depressive disorder, Bulimia nervosa, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic disorder. Warfarin is an anticoagulant it reduces the formation of blood clots. Warfarin is used to treat or prevent blood clots in veins or arteries, which can reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other serious conditions.
I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
