Hey Jay,
What is Anacin, would it have to be prescribed ? I'm really suffering now, lumpy neck, ear infection, sinus, throat ! Its really nasty.
Thanks,

Hi,

> Yep, over many years of trying different a.d.'s, I noticed a couple of the SSRI's give me a sore throat, and sometimes mess around with my immune system. Prozac and Zoloft, as well as Serzone seemed to absolutely have a cause/effect on me. In fact, I have tried these meds numerous times, and the same thing has happened. These *are* listed as possible side-effects in the PDR. They may subside with longer-term use, and I might suggest notching up your Prozac dose a bit slower.

Anacin seems to be a great choice for the first month or two while adjusting. If it gets worse, talk to your doc. I have read many others on here and elsewhere who have gotten the same with a few of these meds, so it isn't just you.
