In reply to Does Prozac increase prolactin levels?, posted by Michelle40 on December 29, 2008, at 1:36:23
> Soon after stopping Strattera, my hot flashes increased, I had heart palpitations and aggression issues. These symptoms became so intolerable, I had to wean off of 20 mg of my Prozac as well.
I had pretty bad heart palpitations after chronic use of 20mg fluoxetine too. My GP was utterly clueless, but I deduced it may have been due to CYP450 enzyme inhibition (CYP2D6) affecting my ability to metabolise caffeine or antihistamines.
Does anyone else know whether heightened prolactin levels could cause cardiac arrhythmias?
