"been on fluoxetine for 7 weeks now, i got my script from my gp. i told him i wanted to start with 10mgs in the morning and 10 at night. that didn&#039;t work out because it affected the last 4 hrs of sleep. so i just started taking the 20mgs in the morning. at first i would feel jittery for a few hours. into my 8th week i&#039;m good. 

unfortunately, i made the mistake of reading about the side effect a little too thoroughly, by that i mean i read the pharmacology part for health care professionals. there i stumbled on a possible side effect that really bothers me. alopecia! i&#039;m a man in my early 50s, has anyone heard anything about losing hair on prozac?"
