Skin rash on face and chest I just started Prozac 20mg 3 days noticed rash or hives last night but?

Yes, I have been on 10 mg of Prozac for 5 months and have had very itchy scalp with small welts behind my ears and rash on chest. Been telling doctors about it & no one thinks it has anything to do with taking Prozac. I think it does & don't know what to do. My dosage was just increased 4 days ago and I feel awful. Please let me know what you find out from your doctor. Wish you the best.

Hi Crisly - When I checked with my doctor and pharmacist, they told me since I was not having any trouble breathing or swallowing, that if I wanted to stay on it to see if the side effect diminished, that I could. I am now 3-1/2 weeks out, and luckily, my rash is almost gone now, as is the itchiness. If the rash started when you began taking the Prozac, or shortly thereafter, it could be a side effect, and is listed as a potential side effect. The produce information pamphlet that they provided with the medicine specifically said that if you develop a rash, especially on the head or neck, that you should seek medical attention. I get reactions for so many things, that I thought I would give it a chance. With that being said, had it continued for months, I would have asked to be put on a different med. Please know that I am not a doctor, and nothing that I said should be construed as medical advice. Good luck with it... I hope that you are able to get this resolved.

Ty for your answer, I called pdoc and was told not to take anymore n taking benedryl n hydrocortisone cream, this was prescribed forPMDD, now got to find another med for these miserable feeling, ty
