Suggest Treatment For Extreme Fatigue While On Prozac

My husband has overactive thyroid for many years and takes medication for it. For several months he has become increasingly fatigued and sleeps a lot. He also takes generic Prozac for his depression which runs in his family. He is 72 years old and has no motivation. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

Suggestive of Prozac induced side effects. Based on the given history your husband appears to be suffering from the side effects of anti-depressant Prozac. I recommend a dosage reduction of Prozac or an effective alternate but a safer anti-depressant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
