How long after surgery is it safe to start Prozac back up?

May 21, 2015
Asked By:jenrae30 in Louisville, KY

I have read that there were increased risks of bleeding during surgery if you take Prozac. So I stopped mine 2 weeks prior to surgery just in case. I'm 3 days post op now....is it safe to start them up again? Thanks!
