Mary,
I first took Prozac 20mg in last December for PMS. One morning I woke up with a burning sensation on my head. It hasn't gone away since. One neuro told me I had a headache and put me back on Prozac -- within 5 days I was "burning" from head to toe and could not function. Another tried Pamelor 10mg for pain, and within three days my pain was intolerable. I'm now stuck with a burning scalp, almost five months later. I take Neurontin, which decreases the pain somewhat. No neurologist believes the connection (they all say it's a coincidence) so I've given up on them. I don't know how long this might last. I'm a 35yo mother of 3 small children and this pain is very fatiguing. I wish you well.
