hi i started taking prozac 7 days ago and i have really sore throat making it difficult to swallow, an itchy roof of my mouth and painful gums too. Also an increased difficulty sleeping although that could be due to my throat and mouth pain... also had few nightmares, what can I do?
Hello and welcome. Ulcers in mouth could be one of the reasons for painful mouth. It could also be due to gum pockets. Regarding Prozac and its side effects, it doe snot appear to cause itching in mouth. Yes it can cause mood swings as well as trouble sleeping.Therefore, I would like to suggest you to see your dentist first and get the oral examination done. Simultaneously please visit your physician too so that you can discuss your sleep disturbances. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
