What Causes Facial Sagging While On Cytomel And Prozac?

I just started taking Cytomel and Prozac. It seems like my face is aging just with the last few months. I am 63. I realize that you age at 63, however, it seems like I m seeing something new every day. I went to my Mom s the other day & compared faces, side by side, in the mirror. Mom is 85. The aging is not much different. My Dad and sister were there and they didn t disagree much. My neck is fallining and is worse than Mom s. I stopped taking both in fear of what I ll see the next day. Do you have any opinions if this could be a side effeft of these meds?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is not advisable to stop your medications without consulting the concerned doctor. There could be many other reasons for your signs of ageing like age, lifestyle modifications, hormonal changes, change in facial products to name a few. It is highly unlikely that Cytomel and Prozac would cause ageing. You could visit an aesthetic physician or a cosmetic dermatologist who could cater to your skin ageing signs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
