  1. Now up front, self medicating yourself with antidepressants is not a wise course of action.  These drugs can have very strange effects (especially in kids) so please if you feel you need to take Prozac, talk to a doctor or a counselor.  

    To answer your questions

    Vitamins and the allergy medication should be fine.  

    The aleve and motrin can interact and have been associated with GI bleeding (stomach bleeds) so if you need something for pain go with Tylenol instead.


  2. A possible side effect from ibuprofen(motrin), or Aleve is gastrointestinal bleeding or the development of ulcers. If possible, avoid taking fluoxetine with ibuprofen. If you must take these medications together, your doctor should monitor you closely for gastrointestinal side effects and adjust the dose of these medications if needed.

    Side effect of Prozac with Tylenol is

    Both alcohol (ethanol) and acetaminophen can cause damage to the liver. The risk of experiencing liver damage may be increased when alcohol and acetaminophen are used together. This potential interaction is more likely to occur when alcohol is combined with high doses of acetaminophen, or when alcohol and acetaminophen are both used daily over a long period of time. People who consume three or more alcoholic drinks per day should avoid using high doses of acetaminophen or avoid using acetaminophen on a regular basis.

    GOOD LUCK!
