My cat was on prozac a couple years ago for anxiety and improper urination. He was going all over the house and out of the litter box.. It worked right away.. When I weened him off it was a nightmare..He is a little under 7 lbs. The cat is a very small, thin boy, 4 years old now. He started to want to eat everything, even people food, 24/7. He was never interested in any people food at all and is fussy with his canned food. He would cry for food and even nudge my hand before I can even scoop out the food from the can. I think that was a side effect of going off prozac.. It took months for that to subside and he stopped all the food gulping and went back to his normal eating ( normal for him) He was ok for a while. .Now for the past 2 months he has been slowly starting the peeing in the house in different spots, and out of his litter box. He was checked for UTI and Flutd in February and bloodwork was all clear. I am starting him back on Prozac with the Drs. OK. He was on 5 mg when he first started last time and that was too much and he went on 2.5 mg. HE did ok on it. The peeing had stopped.. I would like to hear of any side effects while starting prozac that others have seen and also side effects weening off the meds.
So far he got 5 mg. and has been sleeping all day. I dont want a cat that is like a zombie.
Hope to hear the answers soon.
Thank you.
