Should I seek legal representation for side effects to my wife due to a SSRI drug called Fluoxetine? These SSRI drugs Prozac and its generic version Fluoxitine ar part of the antidipression drugs being perscribed like they were candy by family doctors. These drugs are dangerous. Even the manufacturer has a list of warning signs to look for if things are going wrong. My wife was perscribed 20mg per day and was on for 2-1/2 months before my wife literally went to Hell and back. She was told by the ER doctor and our family Doctor that she was suffering from a pannic attack. I even took a print out of her symptoms that matched the drug manufacturers Warning list that sujested she was suffering from Seritonin Syndrome to our doctor and he asked me how much medical experience I had and bumped her dose up to 30mg per day. She has had MRI's, X-rays, Blood tests, Urine anylisis and various others. She was finally diagionsed having Seritonin Syndrome which could have killed her. Jst google this syndrome and it will scare you. What should we do do we have any recourse? She is still suffering from Tremmors, Memory loss, gross motor skill loss and a feeling of doom, that she never had before taking the SSRI. Funny thing they put my wife on an antidipresent because she was having a hard minestral cycle. Even after being off the drug for more than two months. We have never heard a thing from our doctor since our requested visit. Help!
