I was taking Prozac for 20 years for my chemical imbalance. Last week the major drugstores told me that I could only get a perscription for my fluoxetine and that it be Pilva by Teva. It smelled toxic. BTW never had a reaction in all my past 20 yrs.

Took my two capsules and had a severe reaction: tongue burnt, throat swollen, sinus, weakness etc. Took about 6 hours before it subsided. Checked the inactive ingredients using PillBox.com and saw they use ammonia and other shellacs now. Oh wow is it any wonder I had a reaction!!!!

Drugstores will not fill it with anything but whatever they have available. Here's the catch: I have to keep taking Prozac and not just quit or I will get very sick; I need to continue taking it for my chemical imbalance or I will end up in the nut house. The drs know this and also now know I cannot tolerate the new chemicals in the medicine.

We checked PillBox for the least inactive ingredients and asked to order that one from the mfg. In both cases, they said the mfg said they aren't making it anymore.

I just fell into the cracks.
