My son started taking prozac on the 18th. Yesterday when i picked him up from school he was complaining that his butt was itchy. He has a rash on both buttocks and I noticed he also had a rash about silver dollar sized on his left cheeck. It was really bothering him. Also he has been kind of drowsy but doesnt seem to be that drowsy at home but his teacher is reporting that he is falling asleep in school and usually takes 1- 1 1/2 hr naps every day for the past 4 days. Ive called his doctor and am waiting for a call back. I didnt want to stop his medication and was advised not to till i hear back from the doc. Has anyone/your child experienced this on prozac? from wikipedia entry on prozac: Adverse effectsIn addition, rash or urticaria, sometimes serious, was observed in 7% patients in clinical trials; one-third of these cases resulted in discontinuation of the treatment. THanks Foxl! That is what i was worried it was! It did go away and hasnt come back tho. His doctor told me he wants him to stay on it and call back if it worsens. Thanks again!Hope everything is ok, glad you talked to the Doctor. We did not experience this, I am so sorry. Good for your doc -- you notice only 1/3 of those with rashes discontinued ... and I know you feel it is helping him!I went on prozac when my son was misdiagnosed. I got the rash 30 days into it and had to stop. I was very very itchy. |
