Prozac and Puffy Face? duration?

Has anyone gotten a puffy bloated face from Prozac? I recently went back up to 20mgs and now my face is puffy.. Is this a start up type effect that will go down or what? It's noticeable enough to make me consider going back down to 10mgs..

I also have a puffy, bloated face. However, this was on citalopram 20mg and after withdrawing I still have it. Really hope it starts to go soon..

Hi there.  I looked it up.  It is a very rare side effect in the less than 1% range.  good luck

Hi there.  I've never heard of this to be honest.  Other than if you gained weight.  Or could you be retaining water?  Speak to your doctor.  Could be a coincidence.  Watch your salt and drink lots and lots of water.  good luck
