IS PROZAC MAKING ME ILL? 
Question: I was injured at work Feb. 2003. I have severe back pain and have had one surgery already and am facing another one. I was prescribed Prozac 20 mg a day about a year ago. I quit taking it about 2 weeks ago because I felt like it was causing me to feel angry, moody and feeling rage. I took your test and feel I may have BPD, GAD and fractured enjoyment. My injury cost me my 22 year career as a caregiver, I now sleep in a chair and basically have no life. I was sure that the Prozac was causing my symptoms but I am still having them. What should I do? Dr. Heller’s Answer: The Prozac (fluoxetine) didn’t cause your problem but it undoubtedly made it significantly worse. Individuals with the BPD (borderline personality disorder), GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), and genetic depression (“fractured enjoyment”) get worse from SSRI’s like Prozac unless they are pretreated with BuSpar (buspirone) first. Without this pretreatment Prozac will worsen dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair) and can cause dissociation. Once both the BuSpar and Prozac are successfully taken at the correct dose the chronic worry, unprovoked mood swings, chronic anger and irritability, emptiness, and boredom should disappear. The use of as needed medications is then needed as well. Click here for my Dysphoria Instruction Sheet.
