What Causes Bed Wetting While Taking Prozac For Depression?
My 30 yEAR OLD SON WETS THE BED WHEN HE DRINKS ALCOHOL TO EXCESS. HE SAYS THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED TO HIM, EVEN IN COLLEGE WHEN HE WOULD BINGE DRINK, UNTIL HE STARTED TAKING PROZAC FOR DEPRESSION. COULD TH E PROZAC CAUSE THIS AND, IF SO, WHAT OTHER DEPRESSION MEDICATIONS COULD HE TAKE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE THIS EFFECT ON HIM. HIS ONLY OTHER HEALTH PROBLEM IS ASHTMA FOR WHICH HE TAKES SINGULAIR AND ADVAIR.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Usually prozac does not lead to such kind of symptoms. If he is getting bed wetting after taking prozac with alcohol, then you can shift to another antidepressant like paroxetine or sertraline etc. Better to consult your physician or psychiatrist about the problem. In case, you need further advise, you can ask.
Thanks
