Prozac and bruising

Has anyone else here experienced excessive bruising when on this drug? I seem to be ok when taking 20mg but when increasing to 30mg, bruises appear on my legs but also on my arms which tends to be a bruise fee zone. I've had blood tests which have come back normal. I do also inhale steroids for ashma but the doctor said it's uncommon to bruise easly on the inhaled steroids.

I do! And it's particularly bad if i take ibuprofen as well (so i tend to avoid it now i know the connection). But yes, sometimes my legs look pretty horrendous from bruising, all the more galling having finally lost some weight and i still won't be able to bare my legs in the summer! Hmm
