We started Prozac about 7 days ago and getting the stomach upset which we're relating to the Prozac. I think we were happier on Venlafaxine...(Effexor). May try opening the prozac capsule and consuming only the contents. I once took a multi-vitamin in a 'blue capsule' which made me vomit each time - quit after 4 times of this. I think the capsule dye was the culprit - prozac caps look like they could be an issue (long shot). So, we'll experiment and see. ----- Original Message ----- From: janet paterson To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 9:28 PM Subject: Re: prozac cross-posted hi all on 04-19-2002 07:34 PM someone female wrote: >I'd like to hear about your experiences with prozac. >I had to quit taking it after about a month.
