Hi,

Prozac when taken along with Doxepin may cause drowsiness, sleepiness, dry mouth, blurring of the vision, constipation and urinary retention. Doxepin also increases the blood levels of Prozac causing altered consciousness, confusion, poor muscle coordination, abdominal cramping, shivering, dilation of the pupils, sweating, high blood pressure, and increased heart beat. I advise you to consult your treating doctor to adjust the dose of the medicines or for an alternate effective medicines.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
