Took my prozac last night, just like everynight...but it goes down...screwy I guess. After minutes I still feel a lump in my throat, like it's stuck in there...and it still feels like that now. Plus, last night, when I first took it, my right arm and upper right back started hurting awful...it felt like the heartburn again, too, in my chest...But would it just be because of that pill, just like that? The pain isn't in my arm or back anymore, but I still feel that lump in my throat. The whole lump thing happened before, but it didn't last this long -_-

That's terrible. I'm thinking that if you drink something hot, it will melt the pill.

Good luck.

I get that sometimes if I take a big pill, I don't think it's still in your throat, it's just where it went down, it probably bumped your esophagus, which caused you to think it's still in your throat.

I hope that makes sense, I hope I'm right, that it's not still in your throat.

Try drinking a glass of water slowly, if part of it is still there that should wash it down eventually

try swallowing something big... like some bread that you hardly chewed, ya know as if you're starving and hardly chew on it... that will push the pill down if it's still there.

It is most likely just a minor inflamation that will dissipate fairly soon. Anything involving the mouth and throat takes longer to heal.

You are overactively thinking about it so any discomfort is magnified.

You'll be fine.

that happens to me, just drink more water

Thanks guys. I drank so much water, I thought I was going to drown myself from the inside out. I'll try what you say :)

It always feels like the pill is still in there when it's not when that happens to me. I think it scratches your throat or something.
