In reply to Joint Pain from your AD? Blurred Vision, posted by Joy on January 14, 2002, at 21:44:58
> I am up to 60 mgs of Prozac. It seems six weeks ago I started having joint pain in my hands, especially my left hand. I can't even wear the ring I had been wearing for 8 years. I'm thinking it may be the high dose Prozac cause it happened so quickly, not gradually. Also, my vision is blurred sometimes, it can be either eye. I think it is the Prozac. Anybody relate? Any advice?
> JoyI was searching archives and found this and just had to respond. I originally started on 20 mg prozac and did OK. Since it was making me gain weight my doc added wellbutrin and we dropped the prozac to 10 mg. I'm not sure if it was the prozac directly or the combination of the two drugs, but I started having such problems with muscle aches (mostly in my arms) and joint pain in my hands that my regular doctor who didn't realize it was due to the AD sent me for all kinds of blood tests and even an MRI because it thought it could be arthritis or MS. When I went off the prozac completely this allwent away.
