Prozac and heartburn.

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

I have just started on 20mg of Prozac a day - I take it in the mornings, and it gives me fierce heartburn.

Has anyone else had a similar issue, and if so, does it get better after a while, or will I need to take something to treat the heartburn too? I tried two antacids with the Prozac this morning, and it made no difference.

ive had heartburn from a different SSRI. i take omeprazole to help and a big glass of milk when the heartburn occurs. not really got much else to suggest im afraid

I make sure I take it with food.

Thank you both. Googling tells me I may be able to buy omeprazole over the counter, so I will go to the chemist today, and see what they say. If not, I will book an appointment asap.

Thanks to your advice, I now have omeprazole to try - thought the pharmacist would only sell me enough for two weeks, and said I needed to talk to my GP - but as I only have just over 2 weeks worth of my AD prescription left anyway, I would have been going anyway.
