[|Human|] My 11 year old granddaughter has seizures but epilepsy was ruled out. She is on 20 mg prozac. And has many side effects from prozac. vision, hair loss, fainting, breathing trouble, stomach pains especially when she eats. She has suicidal thoughts. Why would prozac be prescribed if that drug causes seizures. She needs something to control them. Is 20 mg too high a dose?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! You should know that if epilepsy was rule tout, this means that she has non-epileptic seizures. These types of seizures are related to depression and anxiety. Prozac is an antidepressant which helps prevent these types of seizures and also improve the way she feels. This is a normal dose for adults, but as she is experiencing a lot of adverse effects, she may need to lower the dose, based also on her body weight. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,
