Q: dr: I have been on 20mg of prozac since dec. 2003 for pmdd with excellent results. in june I had my uterus removed because of an excessive number of fibroids.the prozac worked well until about 6 weeks after my surgery. why? my dose was increased to 30 mg and so far, things are just a little better, but I do not feel as happy as I did before the operation. What happened to my body after surgery, and why did the prozac not work as well? thank you!

A: I never prescribe Prozac but use natural products for your condition so as a consequence I am unable to answer your question. Have you asked your doctor who took out your uterus and prescribed Prozac?

Sincerely,

Dr. Townsend
