> Hi cindyd, go see your doc and ask for a few days worth of Prozac (I took it for three days.) It DRASTICALLY reduced the "brain zaps" and dizziness for me. It worked like a charm. I did have an upset tummy due to the Prozac for that brief period but it was much more tolerable.

When I called the dr. today he said to divide the 75 mg. capsule and do that for a few days, weaning down until no more.
If I had any idea this drug was going to affect me in this way, I never would have been put on it.
I'll call the dr. right now and ask for that Prozac.
Cindy
