Message: <blockquote data-quote="farmerfudge" data-source="post: 93026" data-attributes="member: 14198">A few weeks back I started to experience a constant feeling of blood rushing to my head. I thought it was a little strange and attributed it to the fluoxetine (prozac) I'm taking. I saw the GP and mentioned the symptoms to him and his suggestion was to lay off the medication for a few days to see if its that causing it. I did and at the same time I realised I was hypo-ing at 2-3 am in the morning. I had recently upped my Lantus dose to 25 in a bid to bring my BS down. I reduced the dose back down to 22 and the hypoing stopped and also the head rush experience ceased. I've subsequently restarted on the fluoxetine and havn't experieced the symptoms again so it must have been the hypos causing it (?)As an aside my GP looked at my last HbA1c result which was 8.1 and said I cant have been having hypos because my reading was too high.  A few night time hypos does not a low HbA1c reading make in my experience. :roll:</blockquote>
