I have lost cooverage so I cannot call the pdoc now. T suggested that I might be going through withdrawal from prozac and lithium. I have low grade headahce not a debilitating migraine, no, with nausea, feeling like vomiting but just nauseous. Has been going on for a week.

With all my prior meds I did not feel anything unusual after discontinuation.

The dose of prozac was minimal. The dose of Li was average.

That is probably the lithium.
Thanks for this!

Pdoc had me come off Prozac very slowly, so I figured it must have withdrawal symptoms if you didn't do it slowly. No withdrawal symptoms for me with Li but doc doesn't know I quit anyway. I hope you feel better soon! Could it be flu/cold? There is much going around our area lately.

Someone at work told me about a bug with nausea and vomiting.

Can you just rest and drink juices and vitamins? That way you'd be helping a cold go away or withdrawal symptoms go away more quickly. Sometimes the vomiting flus I get ill but not vomiting like other people, but sometimes I do....

I agree sounds more like a bug going around .. loads of fluids.

Hope you feel better soon
