Gastric upset will indeed make drugs not absorb properly. If you have been on Prozac that long your body will scream bloody murder when it doesn't get it.

Holy cow, thanks for posting this for me. I had no idea there was a technical term for it. This is *exactly* what happens to me. And it's not a mental illness in itself. That's great to know.
How do I keep this from happening again if I get the flu? Just take more of the drug?
