Ditto with the Prozac, a not uncommon side-effect to the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor class of anti-depressant. For me, the worse of the lot was Effexor, which is NOT even a S.S.R.I. Combine that with the fact that almost all the PD meds can cause nausea and reflux and you have a problem. I'm still taking one of the older anti-depressants because of this. You just have to experimenting until you get it right. Different strokes for different folks...
