ok, so i started taking prozac about a week ago and i started getting bad headaches and feeling car sick and stuff (even when i wasn't in a car, i never got car sick in cars before either) plus i'm getting dizzy and nauseous at really weird times, like not sitting up fast or anything, just walking around or lying down. i know there are obviously going to be side effects, but are these normal ones? also my doctor said that drinking alcohol while i'm on the meds can send me into a coma or cause me to become severely suicidal, is this true? or was she just trying to scare me so i would stop drinking? (yeah i know drinking is bad or w/e, i'm stopping anyways i just want to know if she's lying to me.)

Doc, "I feel unpleasant side effects from the chemical warfare drugs x, y, and z, drugs that are supposed to keep people from talking. Could you please not only decrease the dosage but stop the chemical warfare altogether??"
Yeh, yeh, yeh.

Dizziness is a possible side affect of Prozac. And it never a good idea to drink Alcohol when taking them
The dizziness may subside after a few weeks.

Yes it is very true. Why would the doctor lie to you to scare you? She's not you're mother, she's a doctor and you definately need to listen to what she is telling you because you're obviously having some side effects, and you should tell her about them to make sure nothing is wrong.
