Hi I've been taking fluoxetine (prozac) for 9 almost 10 months and heartburn has started to become a real issue! I had it when I first started taking it but then it stopped after a couple of weeks, now in the last 2 weeks its been back with a vengeance! It doesn't matter whether I take them on a full or empty stomach it just seems to happen regardless. Had major heartburn when preggers and I don't want it again!! Is this a side effect that anyone else taking antids have experienced? I know it's a minor complaint but it s annoying me now! xx

Hi
Just wanted to let you know and sympathise that I really suffer with this too, but I am not on any meds. Dont know if it helps but I take Zantac 75 one per day and mostly they are very good, my Dr prescribed them as she said it was an anixiety related thing. I really recommend them.
Love JDMX

Hi,
Just noticed this thread. I suffer cronically from heartburn, even more so just now as I'm pregnant and had never heard of taking zantac. Does anyone know if you can take it when you are pregnant?
Thanks Sarah xx

Hi stevensmummy,
no, zantac not good idea when pg. I'm having a memory lapse tonight, and can't think of the names of the tabs I used to take. If you go to your local chemist, they'll sort you out. love and hugs x.
