These are links to two sites that list that for humans who are taking lasik or Plavix, they should not take Prozac. Myrna's cardiologist had previously said she could take Prozac if needed but I think these human studies prove otherwise.  Prozac reduces the effectiveness of both meds.  I'll need to discuss this with the cardiologist. So far, we've avoided giving Myrna Prozac since treat training is working. Will avoid it now altogether.
